Nature's Own

Today's meditation was very cool. I took Kathryn's idea of separating past and present with the two flowing rivers. Being an avid outdoors man, I imagined myself hiking up a fairly prestigious mountain. The ground I covered represents the events of my past. Not once however, do I turn back to look down the mountain. There is no past. There is only the present. There is only now.

As I progress toward the peak, the terrain becomes more difficult, but I am ready to tackle the mountain. My pack is full of all the right tools. The peak is covered in snow and more is trickling down through the tree line.

I have not yet made it to the top, but I know on the other side lies what will become my present. My present, not my future. The future cannot be predicted, but I am ready to live the present. Live the moment.
