I am reminded to be fully present and conscious of the here and now. There is no place else, and the past and future do not exist. Stop whatever it is you are doing and just simply be. Let the mind (that narrator who incessantly comments on everything you perceive) drop away. It will do this quite naturally, unless you try to force it. Just see what it is doing, accept that it is doing it, and then consciously bring your true self (the light of awareness) in to the multitude of experiences and phenomena that are happening around you right here, right now. They may be subtle (the hum of the air conditioning) or they may be pronounced (the sound of traffic outside your window). Whatever your experience is, open yourself fully unto it. You are a blank canvas upon which the Now will paint a masterpiece, if you so let it. And remember to breathe. What a simple but profound joy a deep and focused breath can be. Hopefully you will crack a gentle smile. You are alive.
