To be in the present moment. To be with my beloved sister who is celebrating her birthday today and to be with all my brothers and sisters through the love I feel for them and for all which is. Even if there are moments where this feels as if it is gone, I know this deep down in my heart and can always come back to, with deep gratitude.
This moment! That’s being a little mischievous though. ???? There are so many things I’m tempted to say. Breakfast. Connection. Sunshine. Love.
Yet it’s true – all those things are in this moment, and I think in a way they’re all one, different ways of seeing and naming this moment. Breakfast is love in a sense, and so is sunshine, as love is sunshine and breakfast. And aliveness, and goodness. And gratefulness. I feel that all these words emerge from the mystery that thi...

Breakfast is love in a sense, and so is sunshine, as love is sunshine and breakfast. And aliveness, and goodness. And gratefulness. I feel that all these words emerge from the mystery that this moment is, and point to an experience I can’t name, but is here at the source of all names…
Rooting in body/ mind / spirit and prayer. Setting an intention and plan to return/ drop into that place through the day and next few weeks, while travelling. Breathing in… and out …
The true key to this moment is “letting”…letting God transform us, be incarnate in and through us, so that like Jesus, we become the hands, the feet, the eyes that look compassion on the world.
The O.T. (Genesis I) teaches that what God created is good, is holy. At Jesus’ Baptism, the dove descended and we heard the words, “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”

The true key to this moment is “letting”…letting God transform us, be incarnate in and through us, so that like Jesus, we become the hands, the feet, the eyes that look compassion on the world.
The O.T. (Genesis I) teaches that what God created is good, is holy. At Jesus’ Baptism, the dove descended and we heard the words, “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”
Each of us is called to be the beloved of God. God loved first. What is our response?
We tend to separate the body from the spirit. But Mary’s “yes” tells us that they are inseparable. The Virgin Birth is and independent birth. The seed is sown in the eternal now in each of us moment by moment.
To nurture it is a redemptive choice that each of us, seeking a mature relationship with the God of creation, must make. The angel still comes, always watchful, always waiting for the soul that is ready to say, “Let it be done unto me according Thy Word.”
It is God who waits. God waits for that evolutionary change, that “yes” which is already within us, but requires individual consent—our willingness to be an instrument of grace. in this moment and this moment….
The most important thing in this moment for me is an awareness of God and His/Her presence in all things at all times. And gratitude for the precious, precious gift of being alive (“…that there is anything at all,” as Brother D. says.) I can get busy with the details of the day and forget these things…I’m in the best shape when I remember. Thanks for this opportunity to “remember.”
I think for me , Antoinette, that is the key, that if I choose I can be connected to this amazing source of truth, of pure love at any moment- that as Greg pointed out is a miracle….and my spiritual salvation!
I am now focusing on unleashing the source of love within me so that I may radiate love in all that I think and do.
The roof over my head, the warm bed I lie in, the peace around me. OK that’s three.
At this moment – to trust God and to also, trust myself. To trust that within me, God is revealing His truth and wisdom. To trust my intuition.
To be in the present moment. To be with my beloved sister who is celebrating her birthday today and to be with all my brothers and sisters through the love I feel for them and for all which is. Even if there are moments where this feels as if it is gone, I know this deep down in my heart and can always come back to, with deep gratitude.
Contentment resting in patience and understanding that each moment is a gift is important.

Connection to a greater wisdom
Listening and seeing in equal measure. Assessing, not so much.
What is the most important thing in this moment?
Sincerity.
What a beautiful answer, Ed!
Rooting in body/ mind / spirit and prayer. Setting an intention and plan to return/ drop into that place through the day and next few weeks, while travelling. Breathing in… and out …
know what opportunity the moment brings
Like what Greg said, the most important thing in this moment, for me, is deep gratefulness for the gift that I am present in it.
In this moment……to be aware and participate.

The most important thing in this moment is the miracle that you are in it..
opportunity. the opportunity to enjoy or grow from
whatever comes today

Yes, I have noticed that other things really are not so important when I am aware of God and His presence and peace.
The most important thing in this moment is simply showing up. Many had planned to and many didn’t make it.
Spot on, Kevin.
The most important thing in this moment is being. Being connected to love and truth always.
I think for me , Antoinette, that is the key, that if I choose I can be connected to this amazing source of truth, of pure love at any moment- that as Greg pointed out is a miracle….and my spiritual salvation!

You’re grace is connected to love and truth always.

for I am forever seeking that through gratefulness…..
Thanks , Antoinette
