Saturday morning in the Bay Area – such a delicious time of day. I awoke to cloud cover, actually it’s called the marine layer. Cool – crisp – the scent of fennel and eucalyptus in the air. It is quiet with sounds of the freeway in the distance, pigeons cooing the morning in, and the sound of my little furry companion, Sammy, as we walked to his favorite spot.
It is these times that I look around me and remember from where I have come. I am also reminded of where I am going, but most of all, I am reminded of my now. And that is the most important remembrance – my now!
Now, I don’t know the weather statistics in August, and frankly, I don’t really care. But this is what I love about living in the Bay Area. These mornings of cool, crisp air and my beloved marine layer that shields me from the glaring sun. My now this morning is understanding that life is always hanging in the balance between the quiet cool and the glaring hot. It is in that balance that we rest. It is that balance that allows us to charge forward in the right and perfect time – and it is always the right and perfect time.
My now moment is remembering that regardless of events and circumstances, I am at the right and perfect time of my life and my experience. Because it is this experience that allows me to create. It is this experience, in my now moment, that I can fully Be. And for this I am grateful – that I can just be for a moment to remember me.
The coffee is waiting for me, and it is time to go back inside. I will relish this now moment and share it with you, my readers. Take a now moment for yourself and just be.
