I am making peace with time. No longer will I worry about things that need to be done. It’s just time to do and also time to relax.

Today, I vow to transend time and not worry about it.

Hey Evelyn,

Great post, something I too often now about is ‘nowness’ and you’re spot on when you say that abundance is found in the present. What an eloquent way to put it!

Hi Evelyn — I liked your description of what you experienced in the park, and I think that’s a good illustration of how the mind operates — its function seems to be to make this moment into a problem, even if this moment involves sitting quietly in a field. If it doesn’t have some obvious danger in the environment to latch onto it creates imaginary bugs. I think recognizing that kind of thing is key to being at peace despite the mind’s constant activity.

Very nice post. We can plan for the future, we can think of the past, but we can only exist in the now. I very much agree that we can’t postpone happiness by saying “I’ll be happy when ____.” There is nothing that will bring us happiness, we have to find it within.

I also liked your experience with meditation. I have yet to make time to meditate consistently. The mind sure does tend to wander when I do. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hilary,

You got me laughing at the lizard being after the sticky ants! A possibility that I didn’t think of! I guess that it would be more likely to go after the ants that it would after me.

Hope everything works out fine with your mother. I just stopped for a moment or two of silence and sent both of you some loving thoughts.

Take care,
Evelyn

@Delia, it’s wonderful that you have been meditating for months now. Bringing more presence into the present is what I hope to do each day!

@Jon, oh yes…my ego can get quite ridiculous when it gets in the way! It loves to play games with me!

@Ellie, I am glad that you are liking my new theme and insights. I am glad to have taken my blogging break. It helped me with greater clarity and crystallization of some of my thoughts. I also tried to be away from stuff that will prevent me from finding my own voice.

Hi Evelyn .. yes I spotted the little creature cleverly darting down the tree, no doubt in search of your sticky ants.

I love the way you’re putting your thoughts down and the pictures are just too wonderful – a wooden bench outside with some warmth now would be bliss .. but not for me for a while. The comment about being peaceful now .. “I was never ever going to be able to keep still until I have made peace with spending the time in the now. ” is so relevant for me when I’m at my mother’s bedside – there’s so much I want to be doing and I do find it so difficult to be at peace with her during those times: someting to learn.

The new abundant tapestry is great – well done!
