Simply Being

"Take a minute.  Pause.  Stop doing, and simply be...  This moment.  Think, here, now.  This moment will never occur again.  This moment is unlike any other, and you are of its essence.  You are not a river, but a pond.  A still, relaxed pond.  You are not late for anything, nor due to anyone...  You are perfect.  Look to your right, what do you see?  Look to your left.  Close your eyes, and breathe through your nose... count each breath, for nothing else matters but now, here, you.  This is life, and you need not worry, for you are exactly where you need to be".

I went late-night shopping in busy Oxford Street after work this evening, and bought a couple of linen shirts.  The name of this clothing shop appealed to me, and provided a reminder of the benefits of mindfulness and meditation, which I have neglected in the past few months.
