Being in the present always comes to the rescue

Only in the present do things happen.

--Jorge Luis Borges


Tonight, my Monday men's meditation group is looking at "regret" from a Buddhist perspective and I imagine that we will be talking a lot about letting the past go and inviting ourselves to be more in the present moment. One of the ways I come to or stay in the present is by concentrating on the ordinary physical sensations of life (like the feeling of these computer keys against my fingertips or the sensations when drinking warm tea). More and more, I appreciate these mundane activities and use them as touchstones for greater awareness and vitality. Joe
