Dear Friends and Community,
Hope all is well in all the ways we wish them to be well. Hopes and wishes are not often what is happening. We are struggling in so many ways to meet the moments we are in. Different battles and battlefields, but the battles are there. Some of us are confused about where we are heading as a country, some are battling health and trying to find a way to feel well. How to have health concerns and be well? For some it is children…the worry of their wellness and wholeness in a country that can’t seem to collectively do the best things to protect and respect them. Then there is the malaise of loss in all the ways it can be felt. The malaise of what is missing for far to many of us.
I am aware of it, because at times it can grab hold of me too. It is so easy to miss when we are in our thoughts trying to figure things out, trying to right the ships that we have put out on the sea of life. We do not see it when we are thinking about how we would like things to be, or turn out. We do not see what is, and we miss that it is all that there is. Have you guessed?
I am of course speaking of right now…this moment, and all the this moments that there are that are sacrificed and lost to either the past or the future. We actually believe we are going someplace all the time, when all we have is this moment. We rush past what is to figure out how to be somewhere that does not exist. We ponder and worry about all that needs to be better, or different. We are sad and disappointed about what should have been, what could be, what we won’t accept, what we fear the future will be, and we are missing what is here, which is all that there is…now.
I will stay with this and try to offer why it is so important to not miss the now of our daily life. I realize it is a practice. It is a practice of two things that will assist us in navigating our life in each moment no matter our circumstances or struggles. So down the page after the weeks calendar and upcoming events I will finish my thoughts.

Try Not to Miss What Is…
Two things you say? Yes. There can be many, but there is no need. Simplicity is best. And I am not saying that these two are simple, only that two are less complicated. Easier to remember. And it is all about remembering anyway. There is nothing to find. No goal to reach. No race to run. So here are the two things: awareness and compassion. One allows for the other to grow and flow.
Awareness, some might call it meditation, or mindfulness, or awakening…they are all different words for the same thing. To become aware of oneself, to see oneself as they are. To be aware of the truth about who we are. To be a watcher of ourselves in the moments we are in. To not react from the past, which is no more, or project towards the future, which is not, to just be where we are and realize this is all there really is. That awareness begins to shape our life in a new way. We know we are alive now!
What are our problems, our worries, our deep concerns, our fears? What ever they are we are with them in this moment…we observe and work with them here and now.
Every moment rushes towards timelessness. As each moments moves towards the next, the future becomes the next moment. And each of them exist out of time. As we become aware in each moment, at some point, with patience, we realize out of the time continuum, we each exist in infinite space.
Nothing and no one is coming after us to be perfect, or better.There is no condemnation. No one is saying we should do anything at all. The choice is ours to be or not to be. And to live with the consequences of our actions is the only thing we really own. At best we are just custodians to what we think is ours. And if we can realize that for ourselves and feel the love and kindness by which we were given our life to live, we would want to extend that love and kindness towards those in our life, in our world. That is compassion. Compassion flows from the love that awareness has opened up in us. And the love of awareness is the light of truth.
We want love to console us, but the love of truth is a light that allows us to see the darkness we are in. We are collectively in misery. Not the same misery but misery all the same. There are an endless variety of miseries and illness. Living in the timelessness of the present moment makes our misery seem unbearable. We are seeing and feeling who we are. But it is a medicine for our wellness. And health and wellness feels the same for all. It feels better. So do we take our medicne?
When we feel better, we realize that our wellness cannot wait for a future time.And wellness is realizing that there will always be something. That is the nature of life. In the present moment there is rest. Navigating life one moment at time. We realize there might not be another time to love who we love, or to let them know what a most extraordinary being we think they are, or to say I am sorry, or to forgive someone, or hug them, or to just say I love you as you are. We allow what is to be. We are never the fixers anyway. We are the learners. We are the ones that cannot absorb the mystery of life as just that…a mystery.
Collectively we will not journey together in new awareness of the present moment. But eventually it calls each of us, so we each can have a sense of the wellness of what feels like home. The present moment is the only place where we commune with Existence. It is the only place where life exist. I know we have learned to live from the past to the future, but you can see what it has made of us. We sacrifice so much of our precious life when we choose to forget about the only life we truly have. To be here now is a jump from misery to consciousness. Only we can choose to go from one to the other. And the least we can do is be aware that the choice is there for us to jump.
Love and blessings,
Denise Yocco
