When we decide to be in the here and now we welcome what life presents to us.  We are ready and available although not always desiring to face what is there.  The beauty of being willing to be with what is presented is the opportunity to be with God.  The only place where God’s time and our time intersects is now.  Most meditation and spiritual practices are designed around helping us get to the now and the fortitude to stay with it.  Our minds want to wander into the past or go to the future.  It is easy to get yanked out of the present moment because it is constantly fluctuating.  In those fluctuations the mind starts to chatter and think.  When we are thinking we are no longer present with what is.  Being with what is presented means having the courage and the desire to be with our calling to receive love or bring love.  It may not look like love and we get stuck in the package, but all we are presented with is a call to be the love or receive the love.  We know it in our hearts and souls.  It is what makes the light within us shine brightly and connect with others.  The more practice we have in seeing what is presented as an opportunity to receive love or give love, the more we have the courage to stay with the present moment.
