Be Busy Being

Slowing down would be easy if I could just remember to do it. Why is it so hard to get this one simple thing right? Not really asking too much, is it? I equate slowing down to being present in the moment. When I slow down, I automatically live the moment. But it is way too easy to get lost in the things that saturate the day. The things that always need to get done. The things that line up to be worried about. There is never a shortage of those things that only exist in our mind, the things that could go wrong, the things that are not materializing, the things that might or might not ever happen. It is easy to get lost in those thoughts.

I just woke up and found that I had been missing my moments. Ironically, while I was running to catch up with this moment, it was gone. So now, I am just going to be. I am busy being.

I'm dusting myself off. Made myself a reminder so that, at least for today, I will remember. There is only ever THIS moment and it is enough.
