Change of Seasons, again
Yet, rather than dwelling on an uncertain tomorrow, I am doing my best to enjoy the autumn foliage while it lasts embracing the present moment. The autumn leaves are a poignant reminder of impermanence. However, even after years of practice, staying rooted in the present moment is not a task easily mastered. The mind has a penchant for wandering, for veering off into the past or future. Yet, it is in this very struggle that the beauty of mindfulness lies. The practice isn’t about achieving perfection but rather about the journey toward it. It’s about acknowledging our wandering thoughts and gently guiding them back to the here and now. And while it may not always be easy, it’s a practice worth pursuing, for it is in the present that we find the true essence of our lives.
