Embracing your life

Suppose you could find a simple way to embrace your life with joy, stop arguing with reality, and achieve serenity in the midst of chaos? The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?

This quote is from "Fear of Flying" by Erica Jong, I found it today and decided to post it here.

being here now

Why did you come here?
Where is "here"?
Are you "here now"?

A now moment

For thirty seconds, just be present with yourself.

Are you breathing?

Where is the mind, in the past? the present? or the future?

What emotions are you feeling?

Observe yourself with compassion and non-judgment, then continue with your activity.
