It's about Time
with Lennie Kronisch
Sunday, June 9: 10:30am-12pm
If we check up, we'll find that a good deal of our time is spent dwelling on either the past or the future. We are mentally reliving a vacation or a good time, rehashing things we wish we'd done differently, recounting regrets. On the other hand, we worry about things that might never happen, obsess over planning future conversations and events and distract ourselves with anticipating, expecting. Yet life happens now, moment by moment in the eternal NOW. Being present to our lives and fully experiencing each moment as it unfolds greatly enriches our participation in the time we have, from this moment forward.
