Each and Every Moment is an Opportunity to Give

December 24th, 2010

The first thing that ran through my mind this morning was this, "Today and tomorrow, Each and every moment is an opportunity to give my presence.  There is nothing more valuable that can be given."  

I thought about this for quite a time, absorbing the meaning of it, feeling the energy of it.  I am joyful at the thought.  I want to be here and now.  To the best of my ability,  I want to have my feet firmly grounded, my mind clear of expectations and unaffected by old beliefs, and my heart open.  I want to be taking in the experience of each moment, with all of my senses.  I want to do this in each precious moment, no matter what I am doing.   I want to do this when I am breathing, listening, talking, walking, eating, making food, giving gifts, receiving, singing, hugging, etc......

So the idea is fabulous and the actual practice may prove to be more challenging but it is my intent to get as close as I can to doing this.  It is my intention to pay attention to how my body is feeling, to what emotions I am experiencing, to what thoughts are surfacing and to do my best to be with what is. 

Peace and Love to you all!
