It is each man’s destined quest to rediscover who he truly is, but the answer to that searching lies in the present, not in the past … The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us; it fools us into believing what it so desperately wants us to believe: that we are weak … that we are “sinners” … that we are selfish … that we are “only human”.

And yet your Heart knows differently.

The Heart remembers your gentle acts of Kindness. The Heart remembers when you stood speechlessly wrapped in awe. The Heart knows when you had the courage to forgive.

No, though your trembling mind would have you forever peering through the misty memories of the traumas & sins of your past in order to “find yourself”, your Heart wants only for you to LIVE in the present.

In-deed, your Heart knows that you don’t need to be found at all … as the Heart knows that you never left.

So if you are looking for who you truly are, remember to look only to the actions of your Here&Now, for that is the only place you will find those answers.

Today is the only place where your True Self truly resides. Today is the only place it can be re-membered,

… and thus today is the only place It can be known again.
