Resting in The Moment
Have you ever been in a sunflower maze? I can see the tall flowers drooping their heads over mine, as I try to find my way. I've always wanted to walk through a sunflower maze, but only managed a "drive by" with our youngest on a trip home after camp several years ago. We were in a hurry, too many things to do, "next time," we said. It never happened.
In this moment, years later, I imagine what I "could have, should have, would have done." It is easy to make up a story instead of living in the moment and resting here. Wasting my heart on regrets steals today's sunshine. What if I let go of what I did not do that day, so that I can be fully present today?
Sometimes the way we think about things keeps us stuck in yesterday or wishing for tomorrow, but we forget to live the moment we are given. Do not let this happen to you! Today, quiet your mind's racing and your heart's anxious look backwards. Today you have sunshine and leaves falling from the sky; another day you will find a field of sunflowers and you will walk in it.
Live life to the full, let go of regret, embrace the moment before you.
"If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find we have lost the future."
~Sir Winston Churchill
