Don't look back, don't look forward, there's only this moment.

Clock Time vs. Psychological Time

"If you set yourself a goal and work toward it, you are using clock time. You are aware of where you want to go, but you honor and give your fullest attention to the step that you are taking at this moment. If you then become excessively focused on the goal, perhaps because you are seeking happiness, fulfillment, or a more complete sense of self in it, the Now is no longer honored. It becomes reduced to a mere stepping stone to the future, with no intrinsic value. Clock time then turns into psychological time. Your life's journey is no longer an adventure, just an obsessive need to arrive, to attain, to "make it." You no longer see or smell the flowers by the wayside either, nor are you aware of the beauty and the miracle of life that unfolds all around you when you are present in the now."

-From the Power Of Now; A Guide To Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

Fleeting Moments Of White Magic

Scatter me across the ocean so I can be set free and I'll float like a feather on the tips of the cold mountain waves and light up like a star with somewhere to go, snowflakes dust my cheeks like jewels, remind me I'm not far from where I came from, dripping with potential, I'll catch fire despite the spell.

Let's meditate and create and flower this beautiful life with all the magic we have burning deep inside us. The flame never goes out but can always grow.

On throwing caution to the wind:

"If you spend your time trying to figure out what's "best" for you, your choices will be cautious, your decisions will take forever, and your journey will be launched on a sea of expectations. If you're not careful, you'll drown in your expectations."
