Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Ever unsure, it actually never comes. It is an illusion that is never reality: the only reality is now. When tomorrow comes, it is now and no longer tomorrow so it never exists. As such, it is futile to wrestle with what is not and may indeed never actually become, even when the morrow is now. It is better, therefore, to dwell in a place of “now awareness”, to enjoy the experience of whatever is in the moment, our only true reality.
As I sit here, pen in hand, coffee smells dominate my senses, as well as the heat and humidity of the day and a slight sense of fatigue. Having done some work, I now indulge myself in writing these words and I feel relaxed, happy and free of concerns as a result. The thought and words come from whatever is there now in my mind without reference to the past or the future.
If I let my mind wander, however, it will find mischief, things to perturb me, things from the past or concerns about the future, even something happy in the future. Then I am no longer free to enjoy this exercise, my coffee and the warm day. What a pity that would be! So, better to meet the morrow when it is the now and let past and future remain where they belong so I may relish what I have in hand right now to maximum effect and enjoyment. Such is the source of joy and contentment.
