2012: Let’s share the experience of living
By
“Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
In each moment, each of us is engaged in creation. Creating song. Creating a walk to the park. Creating a meal. Creating a dialogue on why the sky is blue, with a child. Creating anxiety, sitting in a line of cars, not moving. Creating a happy memory from 1969. Creating love.
As we expand and connect these moments, we see our path, where we were, and where we are. The wisdom learned along the way. An experience that will not be forgotten soon. Something that touched the soul. Or perhaps, a routine part of the day that suddenly became steps walking upon a moving planet, in gratitude, instead of going down the sidewalk to get the mail. Every moment, in its full glory, is to be celebrated.
“If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.” ~ Barry Lopez, in Crow and Weasel
During the next twelve months, The Edge invites you to share your experiences with us, so we can share them with the community at large. Each featured topic in 2012 relates to your experience, to your journey, your pathway, and what you felt and how it has shaped your life. Simply share a story about a life-changing experience you have had, and how it impacted your life from that moment on. It is about you as you travel through your own story, unfolding the magic and how that magic impacted your life.
