living in the now

i think this is where this thread belongs. i pride myself in living in the now, but should i also plan and worrying and the future and take experience from the past?????

I like to say,

Live in the now...
Consider the past...
Plan for the future...

But, be able to roll with the unforeseen....

wise words, jestor, i'll take them into consideration,

I like that Master Jestor.

"A friend was walking in the desert when he found the telephone to God. The setting was Burning Man, an electronic arts and music festival for which 50,000 people descend on Black Rock City, Nevada, for eight days of "radical self-expression"—dancing, socializing, meditating, and debauchery.

A phone booth in the middle of the desert with a sign that said "Talk to God" was a surreal sight even at Burning Man. The idea was that you picked up the phone, and God—or someone claiming to be God—would be at the other end to ease your pain.

So when God came on the line asking how he could help, my friend was ready. "How can I live more in the moment?" he asked. Too often, he felt, the beautiful moments of his life were drowned out by a cacophony of self-consciousness and anxiety. What could he do to hush the buzzing of his mind?

"Breathe," replied a soothing male voice."

thank you masters, i'm sure i'll learn if i read thru all the texts in the library.

I am not a perfect Jedi.....

I am a practicing one....

I'm still working on my, staying in the now....
