The Only Moment You Have

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.

This moment, right now, is not a stepping stone to the next one. It is the whole thing. When you sit with your coffee and notice the warmth of the cup in your hands, the specific taste of this sip, not an imagined better sip coming later, you are no longer bargaining with time. You are here. This is what Tolle means by deepening. Not transcendence. Just the simple, stubborn fact of what is actually happening.
