Waterfalls are spectacular, simultaneously beautiful,
uplifting, overwhelming and bringing such immediacy
into our minds.
There is no wondering about what the waterfalls were like
yesterday, no way to know what they'll look like tomorrow.
There will always be a shade of difference, a nuance noticed
or not, but to see them right now, in this moment in their
powerful splendor---that is the way to celebrate the present.

Happy and Content in the Now
We often take only the bad from the past, quickly breeze through the present, and falsely make up the future. The result is frequently guilt about your imperfect past, anxiety about a future that doesn't exist, and impatience with the Now.
But it is the Now which can help us to live our lives today, fully alive, happy and content.
To prove the value of the present to yourself, try this:
Take a moment and sit in a comfortable place and observe.
- What do you see? Describe the images around you.
- What sounds are there? How many can you hear?
- Can you smell different smells? (Some are pleasant, some maybe not!)
- Tell yourself how the surfaces around you feel, the chair, the rug under your feet, the tightness or looseness of your clothing.
- And finally, what tastes are apparent in your mouth?
Take a few minutes and reconnect with the world as you experience it in the now.

What a beautiful blog. Waterfalls and the beauty of nature sure do uplift. Having a rough day today and your blog has absolutely made my day. You are so right about how we often "take only the bad from the past, quickly breeze through the present, and falsely make up the future." I think that a lot of us as human beings do this, including myself, and this causes us so many problems. We do indeed need to look at the present and the beautiful world that we live in. By the way, thanks for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment.
