Before us stands the greatest moment of our lives–our next breath!  We have no idea of it will come or not, most of us assume it will, but there are many for whom today the last breath they breathe will be there last.  When I think about the idea that all I have is this moment, all of sudden my life comes into razor-sharp focus.  The things that are not so important fall to the waste side and I am acutely aware of the fact that love is all that remains.  So how come I cannot seem to keep this kind of focus throughout the day so that the most important things are ever-present in my mind and I can focus on them instead of getting caught up in the trivial elements of life?  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that God sees these trivial moments of life as just as important on my path of life as the “really important” things.  God is all about the present moment and being awake in that moment.  Tuning into the subtleties of the experience of this very moment, breath in time.  Within this moment is all the love, care, joy, heartache, power, and grace that is needed to survive. And if I stick close to God, I can have that same experience in the next moment.  Just because things are not physically close to me (like family and friends) that I hold so dear does not mean that I cannot be present with them when I am present in the moment I am living in.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to experiencing life fully awake in the moment we are in for as many breaths as we can handle and see what gifts God has in store for us.  Make it a great one!
