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.
