The Present Moment
“You can take a step and touch the earth in such a way
that you establish yourself in the present moment;
you will arrive in the here and the now.
You don’t need to make any effort at all.
Your foot touches the earth mindfully,
and you arrive firmly in the here and the now.
And suddenly you are free—free from all projects, all worries, all expectations.
You are fully present, fully alive, and you are touching the earth.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
