Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winter’s best of all…
–WB Yeats
Is it not the case that we’re incessantly looking ahead to the future?
That we very seldom stop and appreciate the season in which we’re living?
That we live not in the present moment, in the sacred “here and now”, but in the distant times and places to which our hopes and fears drag us?
No more!
In this episode, we’ll discuss how to live in the “here and now”!
Borrowing from the wisdom of the Irish poet, William Butler Yeats and the American Transcendentalist, Henry David Thoreau, we’ll learn how to “live in each season as it passes”.
We’ll learn how to be fully present and immersed in the Now.
Tell me: Do YOU live in each season as it passes? Or are you constantly yearning for a cooler, or warmer, or more festive time of year?
