Taking the time to know how it feels to have a stomach that is full, quality time with family, to have loved ones who understand who I am. This is a moment of happiness, of relaxation. It matters. 0 Reply KTxx3 months agoKTxxAll the moments are musical chords that comply to make a song of our intimacies in our journey of life. A sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare of my pursonal relevancy impacts me. 0 Reply Malag3 months agoMalagMy mind is getting better at noticing that it is distracted and then allowing presence to re-emerge. Presence allows me to notice and appreciate It is helpful for me to be aware of this coming and going. There’s a balance though. The question almost leads me down the path of grasping every moment (because it matters) which is a recipe for stress! 1 Reply Anneclaire3 months agoAnneclaireThis is a second ‘answer’ to this question. It is another question …. There are those moments when I am just interested in doing something distracting, like Mike’s cards, which, fortunately, no longer works on my current version of Mac OS. There must be more creative ways to live free moments! 2 Reply Jeanne3 months agoJeanneIt makes me realize how much time I mindlessly let slip through my fingers.

It is that energy, that flow, that spark that lights the fire. This moment may change the direction of his life forever. This moment when a mother prays for a son. 8 Reply Ose3 months agoOseIf you allow, I will join you in praying for your beloved son, dear Elizabeth.

Being grateful for what I have right now as opposed to planning in advance for the “next” moment I’m looking forward to. 2 Reply Ose3 months agoOseIt increases awareness of a moment, moment by moment. 3 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaIt gives me a touch of anxiety – that I am not using this moment well! 4 Reply Tom3 months agoTomIt helps me to remember to be grateful for all of my moments. I do not have to like all of my moments, but when I am aware of my not liking something it tends to lift the fog in that moment. 3 Reply pkr3 months agopkrBe present in this moment. Be here now. 2 Reply Javier Visionquest3 months agoJavier VisionquestTo decide, a word based on the Latin verb: “cide”; to kill (homicide, pesticide, etc) where we whittle the alternatives of possibility down to a single option. Fortunately, what we actually have in the moment of the Magnificent Now are choices and the act of choosing is entirely creative. 2 Reply Tom Denham3 months agoTom DenhamI have lived much of my life in “oblivious mode.” Being oblivious has gotten me into some great situations because I was not paying enough attention to be afraid and plunged into something for which I was not prepared. That is not always a bad thing! But looking back on life, I can see many times when I could have made deeper connections, helped another person through a rough patch, and saved myself a lot of trouble if I had been more attentive to what was going on in the moment.

That is not always a bad thing! But looking back on life, I can see many times when I could have made deeper connections, helped another person through a rough patch, and saved myself a lot of trouble if I had been more attentive to what was going on in the moment. With this awareness, I now notice things on a daily basis where being more attentive opens up the possibility of making deeper connections, helping another through a rough patch, and saving myself from trouble. I am beginning to see that all the issues on the scale of years in my life are fully present at the scale of hours and minutes. The opportunity to live life well comes to us minute by minute. Our attention is well served by paying attention to what is happening minute by minute and not just on the things that are listed on our resumes.
