CHOOSE NOW
Very simple with practiced attention. Your search for the peace that brought you to read this–it is the very truth you are looking for. Your quest ends when you peek into the present and find your shadow behind you. Turn to face your shadow and your awareness shifts deeply and immediately.
The over the shoulder look at our shadows is a metaphor for our past experiences which we subconsciously stored and may process when they are not as important as they seem. The empty, lonely, fearful feeling is the experience of your past.
Notice your past is an experience and choose now to experience with your eyes, ears, posture, awareness the present, real, miraculous, ongoing world. Choose awe and you will become awe-full.
