Moments




Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
--- Buddha quotes

Today in the meditation room there was truly a moment where I felt complete bliss. I felt at peace. A calmness surrounded by heart of mind and carried me through my day. Often times my body can become still but my mind wanders to remorse for yesterday and worry for tomorrow but today I stayed in the present.

In the valley of my soul I found a place in time where I felt whole and connected to the universal love and power that surrounds us all. It is there whether we recognize it or not. My spirit was energized and allowed me to carry my light into the world.

There has been much angst and turmoil in my life sometimes I believe that is what truly compels me to the light. Out of the struggle I seek to find balance for in knowing deep chaos and much darkness I want to see the opposite - light and calm then come somewhere in the middle. To follow the middle path recognizing truly spiritual moments will sustain me, just for today!

Peace and blessings.
