Fire and Light

The sky looked like it was on fire this morning. The glow spread across the sky and ranged from orange glow across the horizon all the way up to a beautiful purple that threaded its way through the cloud cover. This sunrise was particularly stunning that it actually woke me up with a start. I opened my eyes to this scene in the picture. It was on of those breathtaking moments in life.

It reminded me to be present to what is actually happening in my surroundings versus being wrapped up on the past or illusions of the future. There is so much to be grateful for in the present moment that there really is no reason to be worried about what has or hasn't happened yet. Use your five senses to enjoy exactly what is happening in your life right now. There is actually no other time other than the present moment. In fact, the past doesn't really exist except in your mind. Likewise, the future is nothing more than a vision. The only thing you really have is right now. And by the time you read these words, even now will be gone.
