The future is made of the same stuff as the present - Simone Weil.
The moment is eternal. It is unending. ... . We are one with all that's going on around us. Our existence is purposeful and part of the whole creation, and we can sense our purpose.
The present guarantees we are growing even when there's pain.
Nothing is - but now. And when we dwell on what was or what may be, we are cut off from life ... .
It's only in the present that we are invited to make our special contribution to life; perhaps at this moment our special contribution is to reach out to another person, an act that will change two lives, theirs and ours/ours and theirs.

We must cling to the present or we'll miss its invitation to grow, to help a friend perhaps. The present holds all we ever need to fulfill our lives. It provides every opportunity for our happiness.

The gift of the present. I will cherish it, be grateful (thankful), relish it !
