SPECIAL MOMENT

Time as we know it is sequential, so each moment leads to another moment, and another, and another. Each moment builds on the one before it.

That means this moment right now is the end result of every moment preceding it, all the way back to the beginning of time 14.7 billion years ago. Every moment filling that unimaginably long duration had to make its contribution in making the present moment exactly the way it is.

Therefore, this moment you are experiencing now is absolutely unique and special. It is the ultimate summation of everything that has ever occurred in the past.

The present moment never stops moving. Even as you reflect upon its meaning, it joins the ranks of all past moments. It has done its work, and it has made room for another moment to replace it as the ultimate summation of everything up until . . . now.

The Tao Today

Every moment is filled with possibilities. At any time, you can come upon a new idea, a new discovery, a new direction in life and perhaps a surprise or two. Live in the present, cherish the moment and allow the possibilities to manifest themselves.
