Today while taking our daughter to school, I got a text from a friend whose daughter goes to the same school informing me that there were several delays due to a truck that was on fire and everything was backed up. We live in the same neighborhood and her WAZE app said it was delayed by 30 min and that we’d most likely be late to school. We did run into traffic but stayed completely present in the moment knowing that “delays” are time constructs of the mind. Embodying the pure presence of the now moment, without concern about making it on time or not; we enjoyed our short trip to school. Matter of fact, while we could see “heavy traffic” all around us, we proceeded to get to school with three minutes to spare. My friend, unfortunately was quite delayed.
Before, we would be caught up in stressful thoughts and make decisions in a panic to attempt to make it on time.
Now, with a deep understanding of knowing that being present to the current moment, NOW, we access an endless source of possibilities, our intuition becomes heightened and our experiences seem to FLOW.
Have you ever collapse time? Ever enjoyed chatting with someone that you thoroughly enjoyed or did an activity that you were so engrossed in only to look and see two hours had passed when it seemed like a small amount of time passed by?
