The Present
5 12 2007
When I was in Australia I spent a lot of time thinking about my future. I had a dream I followed. Then I received another dream, a better one that I’m working on now. There’s a lot of preparation involved, but there are so few movements in the lifetime of this heart that I can’t turn my back on them. Oftentimes we let head rule heart making bodies work like serfs to indentured banality. We hang our hopes on the day we’ll “be able to” do what we want, but why not right now?
We are never satisfied with the present because it seemingly doesn’t hold the mystery and hope of the future nor is it as good as the knowns of the past. It simply is itself, and so too often we waste it. This present.
This season of gifting reminds me once again about this gift that we’ve all been given.
El regalo presente es facil de olvidar ya que no tiene una linda decoracion y parece estar simpre abierto. Pero la verdad es que siempre hace un momento que le abrimos. La gente me pregunta que como puedo estar tan fecil todo el tiempo, que si no extra?ħo a mi familia, a mis amigos y que si no quiero mas en mi vida. La respuesta es simple: Claro que quiero mas! Claro que extra?ħo a mi familia! Quien no? pero en este momento, al tener este presente me siento feliz de ser tan dichosa de tener una familia que me quiere a traves de la distancia, de tener amigos que a pesar de estar lejos siempre estan conmigo y de saber que ahora es un momento que no puedo dejar de disfrutar.
