Just Angel Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 my mom loaned me this book in August, saying that this is one of my biggest challenges and would give me the greatest reward. To BE right here, right now. In September she died of breast cancer and I find myself living the exact opposite of NOW. This really got me thinking. My complete inability to just Be where I am, who I am, feeling how I feel, at this moment. She told me repeatedly to live like I do is like standing in the middle of the road- left foot looking back (past), right foot looking foward (future), while I peed all over today. I've discovered that I have perfected the art of 'acceptable' escapism. No drugs or drinking or anything like that that society will call you on, but a hidden form- keeping myself away from AT THIS MOMENT. Can anyone else relate? Have any of you overcome this?
