Like a Miner Who Pans for Gold...
More and more, I live from this place of awareness that where I am this moment is precisely where I'm supposed to be. And never more so than when I'm feeling as if where I am is the last place I'd like to be. In Buddhism, there is this teaching that, what you're experiencing this moment will never completely disappear until you learn the lesson it was sent to teach you.
My biggest challenge is to live into this moment, however unpleasant it may be. To look with determined abandon for the truth I must learn, perhaps as a miner might pan for a tiny nugget of gold. I know it is there and, when discovered, I advance more completely into the very peace I long to know.
Do not try to change what is. Live into what is. When you've learned the lesson it appears to show you, the circumstances will change on there own. This is the mystery of successful living.

Abandon
My biggest challenge is to live into this moment, . . . To look with determined abandon for the truth I must learn
That takes courage--abandon!
I see that as open-minded--not afraid of a new thought, a new direction.
May you learn the lesson and solve the mystery.

Hi Dr. Steve,
Beautifully said! Thank you for sharing with us. Your blogs always lift and keep me on the path, as a reminder to the mystery, to celebrate and appreciate the present.
The abandon, nudges me that I must pray and recollect His word. That clears the way to hear the gems of wisdom.
Truly,
Catherine
Thank you for reminding me
of the one of the lessons I have the most difficulty with, in my life. If only you knew. I can honestly say I have never lived in the present. I remember worrying about the future when I was about two years old. Naturally, it would be inappropriate to disclose details here. Suffice to say, I am teaching myself to be in the present, even going to lengths such as feeling my feet touch the ground with every step I take, when I walk down the street.
Thank you for this comforting and inspiring post.
I don't know what to say...
All of you are so kind to read and react/respond to these things I muse about...I am indeed honored. I hope you have a most blessed moment - this one...the only one that ever is.
