It really is amazing how life flies by when you’re not looking. I don’t just mean realizing that, “OMG, it’s Saturday, and I’ve got a yoga class to go to. Where did the week go?”. I also mean, “OMG, who is that old man looking back at me in the mirror? Where did life go?”

Not that there’s any difference between the two of them. They are both really a case of living in the present. Not feeling sorry for or regretting things past or concerned and worrying about things to come. It’s about accepting where I am and what is right now. And doing what seems right to do given what I find around and inside me at this very moment.

And if I do that, then next time I look, perhaps the world will be a slightly better place. Maybe not in Gaza, or Ukraine, or in Washington D.C., but around me, in that little area where I can have some influence. And if we all do that, then maybe… but that’s another story.
