The present moment is the only moment you actually have.

Consider this: you have never experienced the past. When those events happened, they were happening now. You have never experienced the future. When those moments arrive, they will be now.

The only time you have ever been alive is this present moment. Right now. Reading these words. Feeling your body. Hearing the sounds around you.

Meditation is the practice of arriving in the only moment that exists. Over and over, we come back to now.

Not because the past is unimportant or the future does not matter. But because here, in this breath, is where life actually is.
