Being present

I've not blogged a lot recently or trolled around the zaadz corridors. My apologies for not keeping up with everyone.
I had a great yoga class last night. I've been going to this one person who I have felt a great attraction toward. She has a lot of wisdom and compassion. It's wonderful to meet a teacher who has these qualities, especially here in Lincoln (no offense to Lincolnites).
We've been practicing a lot on staying present. There are four emotions that I tend to have: hope, fear, regret, and attachment. Hope and fear are emotions I experience when I am living in the future. Regret and attachment are emotions I experience when I live in the past. It would seem so easy to stay present but it's a constant struggle, especially during these months of change that are occuring in my life. Those glimpses of emptiness or vastness are ever so short.

such is the ebb and flow of the Zaadz experience! :) no apologies necessary dear!
Present moment awareness seems to be a very strong energy in my life right now too… (heh… “right now”… no pun intended there). It's great to read friends' blogs and see it in their lives, too… such a connectedness.
Ha, but change is not only inevitable, it brings great opportunity to stay present!
Squint a bit and see if you can't see the incredible beauty of this moment, and now this moment, and now this one, etc., etc., etc….
