โ looking at life and all its details, all at once, may be overwhelming. โ

i take care of each moment as it comes, and then take care of the next moment as it comes.
so the one moment at a time reading comes around again, or perhaps it is just that this reading is so appropriate to what is going on in my life that it just strikes a strong chord of dissonance in me. or whatever.
all of that is really irrelevant today, i know that i could not settle for morning meditation, nor could i relax and let go of what i needed to accomplish today. i was and still focused on getting a shit load of stuff solved today, that i need this moment to stop and ponder about what i can do right here and right now and let the rest of this day go.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, much better now!
perhaps!?
oh well, i am who i am to quote the popeye man.
so yes living in the moment is important, as is having goals, making plans, and doing what i need to do to make sure i am honoring all my commitments. so i come back to balance, which seems to be a recurring theme lately. i really and truly want to be able to live in just this moment. concentrating on a single task and a single solution for whatever i need to face right here and right now. i can continue to self-flagellate or i can move on accepting that right now, letting go is just not possible right now, and i believe that is what i will do, accept that i am obsessed with what i NEED to do today and move on.
so it goes, it really can be that simple. no details, no complications just a bit of surrender and acceptance, and that i can do right now.
