Right now, and in every now-moment, you are either closing or opening.
You are either stressfully waiting for something--more money, security,
affection--or you are living from your deep heart, opening as the entire
moment, and giving what you most deeply desire to give, without waiting.
If you are waiting for anything in order to live and love without
holding back, then you suffer. Every moment is the most important moment
of your life. No future time is better than now to let down your guard
and love. Everything you do right now ripples outward and affects
everyone. Your posture can shine your heart or transmit anxiety. Your
breath can radiate love or muddy the room in depression. Your glance can
awaken joy. Your words can inspire freedom. Your every act can open
hearts and minds. Opening from heart to all, you live as a gift to all.
In every moment, you are either opening or closing. Right now, you are
choosing to open and give fully or you are waiting. How does your choice
feel?
