Always in you
You cannot hold on to any moment, for as soon as you know it
is here it will be gone. What you can do, though, is to live
each moment fully so its value will always be with you.
You cannot bring back the fondly remembered circumstances of
the past. Yet what you can do is take the joy from those
times still living in your heart and express it again and
again in new and creative ways.
Though life is constantly and relentlessly changing, the
true goodness you experience is never left behind. The more
fully and authentically you live each moment, the more your
life will be filled with value that you cannot lose.
The joys you have gathered were not the result of any
particular circumstance. They came to you because you opened
yourself up to life's goodness, and they are still with you
even though many things may have changed.
Though you cannot hold on to this beautiful moment, there
really is no reason to do so. For when you see, appreciate
and fully experience its beauty, that beauty, that joy will
always be in you.
Let go of the need to cling to any fleeting thing or
circumstance. And make room for joy to grow in your life
with each passing moment.
