Every moment a new moment ...

Dear Friends, Beste Vrienden,

Every moment a new moment.....

In the preparation of our Sangha evening I noticed that this mantra can have very different associations... A meditation this morning made me realize:

Every moment is a new moment, as a fact ...

Every moment a new moment as a liberation ...

Every moment a new moment as a discovery ....

 .......

It brought me to ask myself this question  : 

How do I meet and receive the present moment. 

Do I fully realize that this moment is a completely new moment, that this is the moment in time that we can live, feel think act.

The future is present in this moment, the future is born in this moment.

Also the past is present in this moment and I can choose where my attention is: With the future, With the past, with my thoughts and plans, or sorrow. Or with the person next to me, or the warmth of the sun shining on my face.

Can I receive the present moment as a gift of life in which everything I need to live is available to me. 

I have my breath, my body, my feelings my thoughts, my awareness and my consciousness.

Can I receive the present moment as a new born baby:

full of life, vulnerable, sacred, innocent, depending on my care and tender love.
Can I love this new born baby to grow up and live a full life....

Doors will be open at 19h30 for settling down and having tea together.

Meditation will start at 20h with a guided sitting meditation,

followed by silent walking and sitting.

As of 21h we have to opportunity to share our experiences in Dharma sharing.

Have a wonderful evening and a beautiful start of a new day

Hans
