“All that is important is this one moment is movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.”
“Nothing is more revealing than movement.”(Martha Graham)
Life is constant movement
We breath in and out
We come and go
We fall, we get up
In a continuous flow…
“A small child has no ambitions, he has no desires. He is so absorbed in the moment – a bird on the wing catches his eye so totally; just a butterfly, its beautiful colors, and he is enchanted; the rainbow in the sky… and he cannot conceive that there can be anything more significant, richer than this rainbow. And the night full of stars, stars beyond stars… Innocence is rich, it is full, it is pure.” – Osho
Awaken the wonder in your heart. Let’s imagine a world in which we do grow up, and we do our daily tasks and activities, but we do it all with an open mind and open heart, always aware of the wonder within, and absorbed in the moment.
There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically.
“Maybe,” the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed.
“Maybe,” replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. “Maybe,” answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Maybe,” said the farmer.
It’s always a gray area.
What may be right for some, may be wrong for some.
Each moment has its own answer.
