nowhere

“Now/here spells nowhere . To be fully present to whoever or whatever is immediately before us is to pitch a tent in the wilderness of Nowhere. It is an act of radical trust – trust that God can be encountered at no other time and no other place than the present moment. Being fully present in the now is perhaps the premier skill of the spiritual life.”

Brennan Manning, Ruthless Trust

In the course of a day, be intentional about noticing how often you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future. I think you will see that the majority of the time you will find yourself in one of these places. And when you are there, you are not here, present to God.
Grace and peace –
Deb
