There would seem to be nothing more obvious, more tangible and palpable, than the present moment. And yet it eludes us completely. All the sadness of life lies in that fact. Milan Kundera
living the present. what a difficult task. would be so good to live it in all its essence. but it seems that human condition is either stuck to the past or trapped in a multiplicity of possible futures.
What is it with humans that we battle to live the moment. I suppose it's a learned response to jump ahead. I live for those moments of creating art...that's when I really do live in the moment.

Being in the moment happens for me through art, reading or laughing. At other times it is pretty difficult.
Hi Leslie, i agree, captured moments are so rare. We live through the most of our moments without being aware of them.

These are great thoughts Luisa, and a beautiful way of putting them into words.

Yes, creating makes us aware of the moment more than anything else i guess.
