living in the moment...
“Treat each moment like a newborn baby. Behold its beauty and mystery. Hold it, without clinging. Pull it next to your chest and let it feel your heart beat. Kiss it tenderly and smile upon what life has brought. Trust your power to love the moment and the Divine will show itself to you.” –Don Iannone
