Being human, inhabiting the moment; is no easy task. Our minds spin tales of the past, look toward the future, while today hollers, howls, tries so hard to get our attention.

In a flash today becomes yesterday, precious moments missed. Moments that held such promise. Gone.

Read through these words, enlightened thoughts from some of our best luminaries. Take them in on a cellular level, as they have the power to light up this very “now.”
