Ziadora on ‘The Present’
September 23rd, 2007
I am currently writing my book ‘Now You Are Awake’ and it is a collaboration between me, Zachary and Ziadora, plus a few other members of my collective. Below is a chapter from Ziadora on ’The Present’, which I wanted to share with you. Enjoy.
The Present
What beauty the present possesses. When you are truly within the present moment of your life, all of the beauty in the earth becomes revealed to you in an instant. Truly.
The way to know that you are in the present is to ask if you feel beautiful about what you are experiencing. If you are not feeling this at any given time in your life then it is most likely that you are either a little too much in the past or the future. One or the other. For beauty can be found in everything, even the deepest heart opening grief.
When you are in the present – perfectly aligned with who you are and where you are, then you give yourself the opportunity to feel just beautiful about life. The present is beautiful. It is nothing that can be found outside of you. It is the beauty of what is being discovered within you at every moment. Both the moments of challenge and the moments of joy.
To be in the present is to be having the free-est experience possible to you. This freedom of living in the present is the most beautiful feeling, and it creates the most beautiful magic in the world and people around you.
