NOW ~ Can you let it be?

A couple of passages from Stillness Speaks ~ Eckhart Tolle.

(Can you let your NOW be as it is! Ask this question as constantly as you become aware of your now moment throughout your day.)

On the surface it seems that the present moment is only on of many, many moments. Each day of your life appears to consist of thousands of moments where different things happen. Yet if you look more deeply, is there not only one moment, ever? Is life ever not "this moment"?

This one moment - now – is the only thing you can never escape from, the one constant factor in your life. No matter what happens, no matter how much your life changes, on thing is certain: it's always Now.

Since there is no escape from the Now, why not welcome it, become friendly with it?

When you make friends with the present moment, you feel at home no matter where you are. When you don't feel at home in the Now, no matter where you go, you will carry unease with you.

The present moment is as it is. Always. Can you let it be?
