present

If you're living in sorrow, you're living in the past and allowing it to bring you suffering. You can also experience happiness in the past but you can't stay there and embrace the inevitability of change If you're living in fear you're living in the future and allowing it to bring you yet another form of suffering. You can also experience happiness in the future but you can't stay there and continue the letting go of expectations Peace in the midst of change (that you can only be a CO-creator of) can ONLY happen in the present. - Ram D'am inspired by listening to a lecture by Ram Dass
