Conscious Aging: Each Passing Day

This short reading asks us to experience the passing of each day as a presence that fills each moment. As we age, we may find that we fall away from identifying with our busy thinking and doing mind and what replaces that is a soft awareness of presence through which our days pass.

The days click by, One more day closer to the last. Let me luxuriate in this moment. Each day, This moment greets me, A bright bubble of awareness. It is here, In the brightness, That we know our true nature. Not the busy, Thinking mind, Obsessed with knowing and doing, But a gentle smile, A glance, As light as the touch of a finger upon a dandelion. It is here, In the present moment of being, That we are, Each of us, One with the world. A gentle unfolding, A presence of mind much greater than ours, A sphere of bright being, Passing softly through the years. It is enough, We who have come so far, To love the living of each passing day, Made bright for us.
