I used to think everything in life was about getting it done.  Whether it was a task or having a feeling, the focus was on what it would be like to not be faced with it in the moment.  Or my intention was really about the feeling I would have on the other side of it, not the actual experience itself. In a finite world that works very well.  But from God’s infinite perspective there is no done. It is all part of the growing and evolving as we are designed to do.  A Course In Miracles states that we meet God in the moment because NOW is the space where the finite and infinite meet.  So if I am not being with what is happening in this moment, I will miss being with God.  I miss out on an opportunity to spend time in the presence of the one who loves me more than I could ever know or understand. After all these years of our daily prayer and meditation dates, you would think I would know this in my bones.  Perhaps it is why they call it a meditation practice. It is very much the daily practice of just being and bolstering the capacity to focus on being right here, right now.  I now see it spilling it over into all areas of my life.  I am more at peace and interested in the process than the end result.  I may not like the moment I am in, but I know how to be there with myself and not run.  I can recognize easier when my head is not where my feet are. Bolstering the focus on the now increases the practice and the capacity to not to want or need to be anywhere else.  It is simple but not easy.  It is a letting go of my plans and trusting things to unfold as God has planned and God has my best interest at heart.  God is committed to my growth in love.  God meets me in the now to remind me I am loved because I am love not because of what I got done.
