Do you experience the experiences of your life?

Or… are you just a spectator?

Or… worse yet… are you just missing out entirely?

(Danger lurks.)

With so much coming at you all of the time, with so many demands and distractions, it’s easy to lose the capacity to focus…

Only to lose connection with the moment… this one and only moment.

And… miss the moment.

The entirety of your life consists of a series of moments, the poet Emily Dickinson wrote. “Forever is composed of moments.”

You miss the moment at your peril; to your detriment.

Because as Annie Dillard writes, “What is important is the moment of opening a life and feeling it touch–with an electric hiss and cry–this speckled mineral sphere, our present world.”

The present is called the present because it’s a present… and really the only one we have.

Practice experiencing the experiences of your life.

Be in this moment.
