The Happiness of Being Here Now

You are HereIt’s one of those bottom-line truths that’s so obvious you generally let it slide right by without paying any attention at all:

You are here now.

But those four little words hold the key to a happiness so high and fine that gurus and saints from time immemorial have laughed uttering them to themselves at the moment of enlightenment. They’re the answer that you find when you finally stop looking for one because they say it all.  But they hide it in such plainness that unless they’re really true for you, you can’t see what they’re saying.

Huh?

They’re reminding you that you are.  Right now.  Right this very nano-second.  Right smack dab in the middle of the ever-changing, multi-dimensional, transcendental, all-encompasing here.  You know, the point where all your power is, the place where reality happens.

They’re important because all too often we need reminding.  The “now” part of it is so fleeting that we skate off into dreams of the argument we had with Sally or wondering what’s for dinner.  And the “here” has so many layers and stretches so far that we cling to liitle pieces of it as if they were lifeboats in the ocean.

It’s all about presence.  Yours.  Focused in the immediate moment.  Hearing its music.  Feeling its flow.  Dancing to its rhythms.  Here.  Now.  You.

Beautiful.
