Now

taken from non-duality cartoons

I'm reading a delightful little book "Music of Silence" by Steindl-Rast & Lebell. In a chapter on the wonders of Gregorian Chant it explains how the use of responsive chant helps monks to find the elusive now dimension of their lives.

"We live in the now by attuning ourselves to the calls of each moment, listening and responding to what each hour, each situation brings." p. 5

May God give each of us an opportunity today to experience the now, instead of mulling over the past or worrying about the future.

Great cartoon.

I love David Steindl-Rast. I assume you've read his "Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer"?
