“Face to face

With my fear

I find

the courage to love

One more square inch

Of my being.

With each passing day

I get closer

To the whole.”

-d.h.

The past and the future are intricately woven into the present moment. Every single present moment then becomes a continuum - one which upholds the entire tapestry of our life. If you think about it, the present is also the past and the future. Living fully in that moment establishes a strong foundation for the future to unfold. It is in this moment that we have the power to create and build - not yesterday nor tomorrow. When we are seized with a fear of what is yet to come or the longing of what no longer exists, we paralyze the potential of the power of now. It’s easier said than done. To rise above the fear and longing is no mean feat. But is it impossible? Perhaps not. One of the keys to that is intention, which is not in the same spirit as a new year resolution that gets lost amidst the cacophony of the mundane. It is the kind of intention that we set from a much deeper place - this intention heeds the call of the soul, the kind that once set in motion resists all inertia and continues in its orbit around the sun. It is the kind of intention that has the power to push one through obstacles, doubts and fears which is often an illusion placed by the mind. When we set an intention of that stature it becomes a living source of inspiration in our lives that is internal and certainly more powerful than any words, books or material objects. It is then that we begin to awaken and harness the power within each moment which otherwise lies dormant.
