There is only the moment

Today was such a “moment.” Today was a moment to be alive, to be on this planet, amongst the glorious surroundings offered so freely to the senses and mind. The freedom to walk down the sidewalk on a sunny day, feeling alive and appreciating the entirety of the spectacle.

Breathing in and out, setting one foot in front of the other, observing the passing houses and gardens, listening to the air that brings occasional sounds to the ear, feeling truly at peace.

The moment is here, now. Precious moment. All-glorious moment. Now is the giving birth of my thoughts and feelings, my aspirations. To be in the now is peaceful, without the chatter from the mind looking for a justification for its happiness. The mind just is in a place of freedom. No calls for it to look for something more somewhere else.

The fluctuations of the thinking mind have stopped, and the witnessing mind has emerged like a glorious flower opening its magnificent petals and revealing its true inner beauty. True peaceful stillness of the mind has descended upon me.

I walk on the pavement, yet I am floating on air. I glance at buildings and cars, yet I only perceive the marvelous manifestations of life I am gliding by so effortlessly. I am alive in this universe of colors and shapes, truly alive and I am thankful for being here, in this moment, to experience it all in this marvelous body of mine.
