Our Oneness

"It is the practice of returning to whatever moment that we are living now that restores us, because only when fully in each moment can we draw strength from the Oneness of things." Mark Nepo

It is human to have our thoughts be in what is next, especially in times of challenge.  It is usually not so much the challenge itself that consumes our thoughts, but we let ourselves worry about what if this turns permanent or into a really bad situation.  Since much of my professional training has been in the observation of human behavior, I often am aware of the actions of others around me.  In a recent incident when some parcels were lost, it was instructive to me to see how differently the people responded to the incident.  To some it was as if the worst thing in the world had happened; to others the mishap was treated as a problem to be solved.  One negative incident does not mean we are doomed to endless negativity.  Let us look for ways to stay in the moment.  In that moment we are better able to see solutions.
