Description
When I grow up... when I succeed... when I was little... when I had fun. It is interesting that so much of our inner talk is in the past or future tense. We seem to be waiting for something to happen or dreaming of something that is but a memory. To live in the NOW (no other when) takes practice. The practice is to make ourselves consciously aware of our NOW. We do it many times and don't seem to pay much attention to that fact. We are living in the NOW when we become fully absorbed in what we are doing. When this happens, there is no sense of real time. It is then that we are totally immersed in our event. The great news is that we don't have to be actively involved in an activity to be in the NOW. It does take practice and we have to be persistent... but we can and will find ourselves fully in the moment. So today... just for today... we shall be fully immersed in our life. Today... just for today... we shall allow ourselves to fully feel each moment. Today... just for today... we shall become active participants in our lives. Today...just for today... we shall live in the NOW. Today is a new beginning... today is a new possibility. Today is the day that we seize control of our life's story and replace the actor in our story. What is responsible? Responsible in my dictionary means to have the ability to respond. So, are we responsible or are we just watching? You decide. How divine. How simply divine.
Our thought for the day is: 'Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortune, of which all men have some.' Quote by Charles Dickens
May this day bring you the wonders of life... may this life bring you joy... and may joy bring you to your heart's desire forever more.

This is a single flame created in Apophysis 3D Hack. Some of the variations used in this flame are the linear3D, spherical, cylinder, bubble, scry, and foci. Post work was done in PSP.
Thank you for stopping by to share a moment of time with me and for viewing my art. Thank you for your comments on this image and my previous images. Each one is like a precious jewel and will always be treasured. I send a most heart felt thank you to those of you who have favored me as an artist or have favored one of my images. Your visits to my gallery mean a lot to me. They make my world a little brighter and bring rainbows to my valley of life.
That which you are seeking is seeking you. May that search bring you to your NOW. Namaste.

A beautiful flame and as always your writing is spot on. Something to be thankful for also is that many times something that might break us emotionally is certainly more able to be handled if we realize that just for this moment, we can handle the trauma, or whatever the situation is, and then indeed when the next moment arrives, we can handle it in that moment as well. Your wisdom speaks volumes! Thanks, Lea

Beautiful and complex imagery, Gayle. These colors are so well mixed.

Beautiful image and inspiring writing. It seems to me that living in the Now is to recognize that everything is complete, whole, and one. Past, present and future are a timeless Now. When alone it is easier to be in the Now than when interacting with others who are time bound. We may be required to step into their time. I've found that developing the ability to bring these people into my Now within myself allows me to maintain my timelessness. I must say that this is sometimes confusing to others. ;)))

In my eyes a SPLENDID marine landscape, where unroll more positive thoughts than of vain regrets. all these colors used seem to give more lightness to the life… in spite of the less pink days or moments! MAGNIFQIEU image still! thank you Gayle!!!

Words to grow by and art to absorb. I love those moments when time stands still and I am completely in the now I find when my mind travels to the past, or the future, it is usually something i want to change or control. CC

living in the now ... or the space in between two thoughts ... also has the advantage of spontaneously allowing the feeling of joy to surface great fractal and food for thought .....
