One of the things
I enjoy about photography is that it requires me to be fully present. When I'm
taking pictures, my mind is focused on only one thing. It's the same when I'm
creating something (art, cooking...)...I get so involved in what I'm doing that
my mind doesn't wander off. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live this way all the
time...fully present...alive...connected...in the moment?
The moment you enter the
Now (the present moment)....you realize that life is sacred. There is a
sacredness to everything...when you are present. The more you live in the Now,
the more you sense the simple yet profound joy of Being and the sacredness of
all life.

When you step into the
Now, you step out of the content of your mind. The incessant stream of thinking
slows down. Thoughts don't absorb all your attention anymore... You begin to
realize how much vaster and deeper you are than your thoughts.
