Present: A moment or period in time perceptible as intermediate between past and future; now.
“The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.” Zora Neale Hurston
There are days when I wake up and before I'm out of bed I'm already overwhelmed with everything that has to get done.
Living in the present is hard for a dreamer like me. The only time I'm able to achieve it is when I am in the act of creation. It is in those moments the buzzing of thoughts stops. I'm not focusing or thinking about anything instead I allow my instincts to take over. Releasing myself from the pressures of perfection and being secure in the training, experience and knowledge I have accumulated. This is my heaven on earth.
