As I walked through a forest trail today, I got the feeling that the only reality was right in front of me. Behind me was a mist that dissipated as I walked. The steps that I took, the past, didn’t exist. Only what I could see around me was reality. I stopped and looked behind me. Everything was there, just as I had passed it. But then it occurred to me that as I stood there looking at it, it had become my present, my reality. I could keep turning around looking for the mist, but I would never see it. It doesn’t exist! What a mind-bender. It’s easier to stay focused on the here and now, the reality of what I perceive at this moment. So, how can I use this in my day-to-day life? Maybe by reminding myself that the past does not really exist, every time I start to obsess over something that happened before now. It might be an interesting exercise…
