During these extremely difficult times here in the US of A, I've been practicing the practice of "living in the moment." The year 2020 has been nothing but bad news between the Covid-19 virus, a fake and drug addicted delusional would be president and a corrupt #republican party. On a daily basis one wonders if this once good country will survive the onslaught of all of it checks and balances. Sadly we are learning with with the likes of #MosclowMitchMcConnell and #WilliamBarr there are no checks and balances and at times it seems as if we are doomed to become a far right wing theocratic dictatorship.
All of this news is horribly depressing and overwhelming.
Today I found a great quote from Walt Whitman: “Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.”
Reverend Maureen Bass from Unity San Francisco used to encourage all of us to learn to live in the moment...for as she would say...this is all we have. This moment, this hour, this breath...is all that we can be sure of. Another great quote that aligns with what she said: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday."
So if this is my last hour...my last moment...do I want to be tied up in fear and anxiety or do I want to be at peace with my soul...and peace with my Universe. Quite simply...yes I do for all of this and the vitriolic clamoring of the world is not worth the stress. I will do my best to do what is right...and then knowing that I have that foundation for the next step, I will let go and let God.
That said, I will continue to practice another concept from Unity #Unity and declare that nothing but good will come out of this turbulent time.
And...so it is.
I am at peace.
