Today, I re-mind myself to be in the Now and focus on the moment, not the past or the future. I will go with the flow today, and every day, and lovingly accept each experience life brings me. – Pamela J. Leavey

A deep reflection from J. Krishnamurti today…
I begin with simple things
Seeing the world, seeing humanity, the “me”, and the necessity of a total, radical revolution, how is it possible to bring it about? It can only be brought about when the observer no longer makes an effort to change, because he himself is part of what he tries to change. Therefore all action on the part of the observer ceases totally, and in this total inaction there is a quite different action. There is nothing mysterious or mystical about all this. It is a simple fact. I begin not at the extreme end of the problem, which is the cessation of the observer; I begin with simple things. Can I look at a flower by the wayside or in my room without all the thoughts arising, the thought that says, “It is a rose; I like the smell of it, the perfume,” and so on and so and on? Can I just observe without the observer? If you have not done this, do it, at the lowest, most simple level. It isn’t really the lowest level; if you know how to do that, you have done everything. ~~ From J. Krishanamurti, The Collected Works vol XVI, p 205
It’s all about being in the moment, don’t you think…

Today, I re-mind myself that no matter what I am going through in my life, if I stay positive and focused, then I can still come out, like the old saying, smelling like a rose. Although a thorn or two might pierce my fingers, I have the gift of gratitude, keeping me going. ~ Pamela J. Leavey
