H,
We only have the present. There is nothing else we have to actually take
hold of. We can plan for the future, but we only live in the present. And that
becomes the problem: we always forget to love the now. The past is full of nostalgia
and the future is full of hope. The present is always the challenge.
Yet, the present is more important than the past or the future. The past
cannot be fixed, and the future cannot be touched. Now, always now, is the time
of our salvation. This is what we can redeem. Here is where our choices lie. We
have to learn not only how to live in the now but how to embrace it and love it
and find the joy in it.
Loving the now is integral to resolving the past and shaping the future.
