Hi Desika, This is a very nice article, it is so true that dwelling in the past and thinking way ahead in the future, we miss out on the little happiness that is NOW. As the saying goes “Past is history, future is mystery, present is a gift so enjoy it”
Leave it to kids’ brutal honesty to show us how life *really* is! I’m often amazed at how much I learn from my 9 month old son – about being present. He’s always present and doesn’t know any different… he can be screaming his head off one second, and laughing hysterically the next. Fortunately, the screaming is only minor otherwise he’d also be teaching me extra lessons in patience!
Hi Chris,
You are absolutely right! My 8.5 year old is the same way. Kids know how to live. They don’t censure their thoughts as adults are conditioned to do. They just say what they feel like and expect the same kind of brutal honesty from adults as well.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I hope to see you more often on this site. You have a very nice site. I am looking forward to reading the short stories on your site. BTW, you had misspelled your website address, I fixed it.
You really need to write a book! I would be the first in line to buy it. Sooooooo, until that day I just continue to print out your articles. And Oh how I wish you would return to your blog
I guess life is telling me to write a book through you. We will see when that happens. As you may have seen from my latest entry, I never really left my blog, just hibernating,
Thanks,
Desika
Hi Desika,
Happy New Year for 2010, I am gradually re reading your excellent blog, and the paragraph which begins “The Past is Dead” resonated with me, but also confused me! I realise I am “grasping” for understanding, and perhaps should be listerning or living more instead, but if you could expand a little about ” beyond the mindl” I would be grateful. Keep shining the light.
hai desika,
I have seen your blog and realised the essence of presence. some fear crippled my mind and unable to concentrate in my routine. Now I am also practising the presence to eradicate all past and future.
thanks.
