The Moments of the Day

Which moments of the day do you enjoy the most as they take place? Laughing, accomplishing, talking with friends, being reminded of those now passed whom we loved dearly? These are some of mine.

Which moments of the day do you look back at with pride? Rising to the challenge, non-attachment to the rising negative emotions, realizations of wisdom? These are some of mine.

What if the two merged closer and closer together - enjoyment in the moment and relishment of the memory? Being present, without attachment, growing wise. It's easier than you think. Just merge the two. They are only different in our mind, in our emotions, not in reality.
