...just BE. of the moment...

There's a famous Zen saying: "If not now, when?"

This is a pithy way of reminding us that

nothing can exist outside of the moment.

By living in the now, you deprive pointless anxiety

and other destructive emotions of their oxygen.

The self becomes wholly alive in the element.

Awareness is the full appreciation of 

the self's relationship with now.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

 Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

 The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

 and the storms their energy,

 while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” 
― John Muir, The Mountains of California

these are multiple shadows because

there were a lot of things she walked

away from without a word of explanation

when she was younger & she still

thinks about them more than she needs to.

the web of life.

thread within it.

whatever we do to the web

we do to ourselves.

all things are bound together.

all things connect.
