To live in the NOW (no other when) is the only place we can truly be. This NOW requires our full attention and presence. But, being the human creatures that we are, we seem at times to long for the past or yearn for the future. The past is but a memory and memories cannot be changed. The future is yet untold and can change at any given moment based upon the choices that we make. So today... this day... this hour... this moment is where we're at. To live in the NOW is to be fully present in our lives. To fully feel each event... each thought. Whether pain or pleasure... to allow ourselves to feel it all is what makes us fully feel and live our lives. So today... just for today... we shall allow ourselves to live in our NOW. We shall absorb each experience to the fullest and allow our experiences to move in, around and through us. And when we allow ourselves to fully feel our experience, we shall become totally aware of our Greater Self. It shall excite us and ignite our souls with a passion for fuller living and a desire to greet our future with joy. For today we are the music makers and today we shall create rich harmonic tones to add to our life's symphony. What amazing music we shall make when we allow our hearts to take flight. Our thought for the day is: 'I thought I was watching my life pass by but then I blinked and almost missed it.' Gayle O I wish you a life filled with joy. I wish you a life filled with peace. But most of all, I wish you dreams which shall excite your mind and enrage your soul with passion. © Gayle O The original flame was created in Apophysis 3D Hack. The seed script for this image is the Stripes Landscape script created by Chromotron with some manipulation of the bubble transforms. The inset image is the original flame. The main image was then run through the Mehdi Kaleidoscope 2.1 filter in PSP. Thank you for stopping by to share a moment of time with me and for viewing my art.
