Dreams can often times serve as reminders of what we need to pay attention in our lives.
The other night I dreamed of my son. He was about 2 years old, and he came running to me with his arms open. I can still feel the way his little arms wrapped around my neck, the warmth of his tiny body, and his soft cheek against mine. Sweet baby. When I awoke I let that image and feeling linger in my mind.
We must remind ourselves in the midst of our busy schedules, and even now during this pandemic, to enjoy the moment we have with our children, because we won't get it back. Being in the moment and enjoying it, is something I am currently working on.
Many of us are living either in the past or in the future.
To quote Eckhart Tolle in The Power Of Now:
“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”
This moment is what we have. Let's immerse ourselves in it.
