Lesson #1:
Treasure the Present Moment:
Neither the past nor the future is in your hands, both
are just illusions, The past is just memories, while the
future is anticipation and anxiety. Now is all you
have. Life is always and only Now. The name of
God is I AM which is
present tense. We can only experience God in the
present moment.
Coming next week:
Wherever you are and whatever you do, be there fully
and give your 100% to it.
Walking Meditation
There is a Buddhist exercise that teaches us to appreciate the
sacramentality of nature and living in the present moment. It
is called walking meditation. It is designed to stop us from
hurrying, pacing, dashing, and rushing, when our steps print
anxiety and sorrow on the Earth. In this meditation we walk
slowly, alone or with a friend, preferably in a beautiful place.
We walk as though we were the happiest person on earth. We
walk, not thinking about the past or worrying about the future. We walk, not trying to get from here to there. We stop
our minds from darting around. We transform our walking
path to a field for meditationour feet taking every step in
full awareness. Breathing and stepping are in harmony. Then
we can pray, perhaps, with the poet, Gerard Manly Hopkins:
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil:
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil . . .
And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep
down things . . .
