While you sit in your feelings, the moment passes. When you judge others, the moment ceases to exist. As you passionately persist in your righteous thinking, the moment ends as your ego seeks reinforcement in the past. It's all so unnecessary as the truth and knowing you really seek is only in the stillness of NOW. Connection is based on your experience, open-mindedness and honesty. Yes, those things are cultivated by events of the past and your projections or vision of the future. Yet ONLY now do all things collide as one...being eternal, right and good. Think about your moments. Open your mind. Practice stilllness and acceptance.
