BEING HERE NOW
When I posted this picture without title or further explanation some time ago, I was astounded at how many people said “huh??”
The point of the post is not some intent to confuse or create a clever play on words.
Rather, it is to invite you to contemplate two things:
(1) The computer mindset in which we all spend way too much of our time (downloading content); and
(2) The future-oriented frame of mind in which we all have the tendency to live our lives.
The problem with waiting for the future to finish downloading is the idea that we have Time. People tend to live facing towards the Future with some sense that “It” will be arriving from that direction. “Someday” we’ll get all our ducks in a row and then life will begin.
Waiting for “It” to arrive (whatever we take “it” to be) distracts us from the only moment in which we can ever be happy, which is Now.
Life is not a dress rehearsal; it’s the actual event.
