NOW!

Almost every moment, we keep letting almost each moment and all its wonders slip away through our fingers, so stuck in our cyclical patterns that we have forgotten to live, or what it is even like to really be alive. If you want to awaken from this ignorance, then NOW is the time to do so - NOW, when you're with one leg in your trousers, yawning as you're looking at your watch; NOW, when you've got only three minutes left to catch your train; NOW, when you're fighting your way through rush hour traffic; NOW, when the the bell and the phone ring at the same time when you're trying to eat at a table with three noisy children; NOW, when you're confined to bed with 40 centigrade of fever.
Don't have mercy for your own ignorance of the marvels around you, lest the day comes that they will be gone forever. Hold the current tight and never let it go; and no matter what troubles may come, keep holding on. It doesn't matter what time will bring; accept it gratefully, and you will see that even its curses are gifts.
