Now

Posted on by philipdodson

My writing today is a simple message to myself. Whatever the question is, the answer is always now, as is stay conscious and present in this moment now. Our life is always now. Yet we make the present moment an enemy and see it as a means to an end.

We see now as ordinary and boring as we want to fast forward to the next ‘big’ moment. However, when the so-called ‘big’ moment arrives, of course, it is now and we are already onto what is coming next so we are not even conscious or aware of this big moment.

Life for most of us is a denial of what is and a thought to what is next.

Now is our entire existence and we need to spend as much of our time as possible being present and enjoying our real life, as all things apart from this moment are temporary.

What we play is life

In the words of legendary jazz musician and singer Louis Armstrong, ‘What we play is life,’ meaning that life is a game, playtime, fun, and a time to create, experiment, and create experiences. Let this moment be as it is intended to be and allow ourselves to immerse totally in it.

Life is a single constantly changing and unfolding now moment. It is the moment in which everything occurs, and the universe always gives us what we need. Everything is as it is meant to be.

We can then go with this and create our art, music, dance, laughter and whatever wants to flow from our soul…let it out to play.

It is important to go with this flow of electricity, energy, and creative juice and not to resist it.

Play, play and play some more. Dance, dance and dance some more. Laugh, laugh and laugh again. Be light, do not be serious and live this moment always. Do not dwell in the past or imagine the future, these are all states of our unconscious mind. Be conscious and create…keep playing the tunes that are the essence of our soul and what makes life a magical experience.

What we play is life.
