 the present


The past is but a memory,

What has been,

Our history.

The future is but a dream,

What is to be,

A mystery.

But now is our awareness,

Our action,

A gift.

It’s why it’s called the present,

The moment

To uplift.

 

the doctor's thoughts .............

So many patients that I have treated are still living in their past traumatic experiences, extending their traumas for years and destroying their health. Others are so pressured to achieve something in the future that they too undermine their health. They have taught me that living “in the now” is one of the most fundamental and important concepts that we need to encompass in our lives. To carry our past with us is so debilitating. To hold out for the future only sets us up for disappointment. Releasing the past and having wonderful, but detached, intentions for the future allows us to direct all our energies to the present, this moment, our very own experience of living, the only true time we have to discover and be  who we really are.
