Future Dependent
The need to “know” is great. Presence always takes a back seat for the scramble of certainty. We have become future dependent. Addicted to that space on the horizon that holds the magic bullet for happiness. But the moment has other plans that most often look like the other shoe dropping, expectations crashing, hopes and dreams dashed. Not because being present sucks, but our idea of what needs to happen is off the rails somewhere stuck in the future. It’s why we hate life when shit hits the fan. Perhaps presence is the only place to find happiness. Perhaps the present is the only place to experience yourself fully alive. Maybe being here, RIGHT. NOW. Is the only true version of you. Maybe. The question becomes can you survive in the presence of this moment? Can you find happiness right now? Can you stay with the day? Are you all right, right now? Or is the addiction to the great “what is” or “what should be” so consuming that you miss the very essence of who you are?
Are you “all right,” right now?
