Daily Meditation: The Impossibility of Peace

There’s no peace in the future.

There is peace in the present moment.

There is peace in the now.

But we love to think about the future.

I do, at least, especially in the middle of a big project.

I’m in a masters program to study acupuncture and herbs, and man, it’s fun to think about what it’s going to feel like when I’m done.

I’m years away from being done.

I don’t want to live the next years of my life waiting for something to be over, missing the sweetness of the present.

So I practice in the morning, breathing, being present,

confident in the knowledge that I am right where I need to be,

and feeling deeply grateful for it.
