Wednesday Night Ponderables

"A vital question to ask yourself frequently is: What is my relationship with the present moment? Then become alert to find out the answer. Am I treating the Now as no more than a means to an end? Do I see it as an obstacle? Am I making it into an enemy? Since the present moment is all you ever have, since Life is inseparable from the Now, what the question really means is: What is my relationship with life?"

--Eckhart Tolle
"All meditations are nothing but efforts to bring you to the present. When you live in the present moment, with no past hanging around you, with no future projection, you are free from life and death, you are free from body and mind. You are free — simply free — you are freedom."

--Osho
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."

--Henry David Thoreau
