Love the moment and the energy of the moment will spread beyond all boundaries.

~Corita Kent

When we quiet our mind, bypassing our thoughts about the hour or day before, or our fear over what may come tomorrow, we can more easily relish each moment - this moment. We too often succumb to the seduction of worrying about the past and future, which are beyond our control.

Our unwillingness to give up this obsessive thinking keeps the joy and serenity we long for out of reach. We forget that the power lies within us to clear our mind and to fully experience the peace of the moment. Quieting our mind requires commitment and practice. We can circumvent any thought and experience moments of peace - a peace that will become as seductive as our old obsession to worry.

I will choose to give up worry today and enjoy many peace-filled moments instead.

Today's reading is from the book In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery*
