Pain and the Moment of Now

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

“Ouch! That hurt! That really hurt!!

I had just walked through the living room and caught my toe on a new piece of furniture. I wasn’t yet used to its location so I didn’t step around it.

I tried to step through it.

Eckert Tolle says that when we live in the “moment of now,” we don’t experience pain – unless we choose to do so.

I remember quickly. The pain goes away. I am grateful.
