It sounds simplistic to say life is a series of moments put together. What else would we call life? A list of things accomplished? The number of days lived? Breaths breathed? What do the days, breaths, or accomplishments even mean if we are not present for them at the moment they are in? How do we really know we are showing up for the life we are living? God encourages us to step outside of our societal and intellectual markers for what makes a life and step into the moments where life is happening. When we pause, take a breath, and connect to our hears we have the lens through which to see the situation of our lives. The reason most of us are afraid of dying is that we have not lived. We notice that it is already halfway through 2021 and wonder where the time went. When was the last time we were so caught up in the moment time ceased to exist? On my daily dates with God, I am invited, as we all are, to settle into a reality where there is nowhere else to be and nothing else to do. It is a moment for my body, mind, and heart to connect with each other in the focus of breath and be with whatever is. It does not mean that my mind does not wander in meditation or that I am zenned out. It means I show up intending to get a taste of what life is about by being in the flow and experience of the moment, whatever it brings. There is a gentle acceptance and surrender of my ideas and agendas. This perspective then is carried through the day and it becomes a living practice. It is a practice of how to be the fullness and truth of who I am in all moments that present themselves. I am guided through the lens of my heart on how to be in the moments I want and don’t want to be in. Whenever my life does come to an end I want to know within my heart that I was able to show up with all of who I am in the moments I was in for whatever life was offering.
What moments are we finding ourselves in for which we believe we are not meant to be in (despite all the evidence of the moment) today?
