I was driving into work this morning, scrambling through the channels, singing whatever sounded good on the radio. With the rush of energy from recording the night before still in my blood I plugged in my own tunes and drifted off into delight hearing my own voice through the speakers. I kept one poem on reply, I like it that much.
I thought to myself "wow, why can't everyday be this traffic-free". I immediately stopped myself after reading an article about how we don't live in the moment. We say things like "I hope it is this warm tomorrow", "I wish I could eat this everyday", "I hope he calls me again tomorrow". Instead of being in joy of the that fact it actually is happening.
I turned my volume up even louder and I enjoyed the traffic-free drive in! I enjoyed every moment of it and I never again repeated "why can't" because it certainly was!
In moments are so liberating and moving, especially when you catch yourself actually having a moment.
I did it, wished I had something that I did for that moment, I wow'd myself in fact, realizing how enjoyable the moment was, who cared what the next days brought, or what the last days were fought with, I had it, in present time, it was mine to enjoy and I lived it...
