absent from the moment
Sat in the sunshine yesterday, so warm I took my shirt off. But the breeze was cold and when the sun went behind a cloud it was cold. I spent the next half hour putting on and taking off my shirt, getting thoroughly fed up with the weather. However it was a wonderful morning with intermittent sunshine.
I found myself asking the present moment for something that it was not giving. And I missed what the present moment was giving. Being reflective I allowed the example to spread across my life and realised that I often do this. I ask the present moment to give me something it is not giving and miss the life in front of me. Perhaps I just need to enter the life given to me in the moment and trust for future moments in the future.
I am found by God in the present moment and nowhere else but what if I’m not in the present moment, I won’t be there to be found.
