How long is right now? I’m sitting on a plane, waiting to land 1,000 miles from home and I find myself wishing it was yesterday or 5 days from now. Yesterday seemed to pass by so quickly. How long is right now? Is there even anything other than right now? The past is only a memory and the future is but a dream.
I guess right now lasts as long as we live in it. When I’m living for tomorrow it seems to drag on, and when I’m living for yesterday it seems to have flown by.
What is really confusing about the present is when I see things like a gnat. A gnat only lives for a few days or hours, how long is their present? Is a moment to me a day to them, a week, a year, or is it just a moment as well?
“Don’t say tomorrow I’m going here, or tomorrow I’ll do this, who says you’re even going to have a tomorrow.” The only reality we have is the present. God is fully real, He’s the only true reality…everything to Him is present. Shouldn’t we be living there with Him. I can’t change yesterday, and tomorrow holds who knows what, so why not live today and enjoy every moment. Make right now last forever by living today.
Uh oh! i guess this means im going to have to reprogram my palm pilot. Good thought. This is something i struggle with. I can’t seem to enjoy the present.
Now is all that matters.
we can learn from the past and dream about the future…but now is NOW. Love this!
…exactly…
