Right NOW What Are You Doing? Or Who Are You Being?

This is an interesting song from Van Halen it really makes the point of right NOW.  We live in an imagined world where we do not know what others are doing NOW, but we do know what we are doing NOW unless we are in the past or future.  Yet NOW is where it is at.  NOW is where your power is as it is the moment.  The concepts of doing and being is different. Many people keep busy, their lives are filled with should’s, must and have to’s. So they do what they have to do, they put off what they want for later. The concept of being is a space of great freedom where you are just being who you are and it can be in the midst of tasks. I am living this way now and make life up moment to moment. I see who I am by who I am being. As I am on my own it is great as I have no-one to impress or change for, I am just me. I love it. It goes beyond being a woman, a mother, an employee etc. it is about being happy, I am being happy NOW. I absolutely love it. What I find is so unconditional, I just find myself expressing and feeling love in this moment. I have many moments like this for years. That is really being at peace. That is how I know I am in alignment with my truth, happiness is my measure. If I am not happy something within me is in resistance or in the doing. Allowance and acceptance of ‘what is’ helps us to remain in the NOW and observe for each gift in each moment. There are plenty when you slow down to really feel it.

Many wise teachers speak of living in the moment for when we are in the past or future we are missing what is happening now.  Just recall how many times you have thought of a past event or a future dream and stayed there. Whilst so much was going on around you. I know that feeling I’ve done it a lot too. I recall at work I used to wish for lunch, then I’d wish for 5pm, then I’d wish to meet someone or I’d wish for a holiday and on it went.  I NOW live in the moment and absolutely love where I am right NOW.  I am in a home office writing my blog and looking out at the gums whilst listening to Van Halen.  Heaven…

This song gives you a feel for the variety of life and what others are experiencing.  Sometimes we just see the world happening to us, yet it is many things to many people, right NOW. In this life anything goes and people are involved in all of it.

So enjoy…the NOW… whoops there it goes… NOW its here…and NOW… and NOW … don’t drift stay present and enjoy the pre-sent. It is the gift of your wonderful life. Without you I would be writing to myself, so may my present enlighten yours right NOW. Know you are loved. Don’t look back stay present my friend.
