It’s easy to get caught up in the future, or to dwell on the past. The practice of staying in the moment can be difficult, but it’s rewards are great.
NOW on the border of Oregon and California this train track brings a feeling of freedom and spiritual growth.
NOW in Pasadena California, a moment of Serenity and Peace.
NOW a sunrise in Santa Barbara, California calls for a new beginning and fuels the desire for change.
NOW in Downtown Los Angeles determination to succeed.
NOW at a juice bar in Silverlake, California nourishment fuels the soul.
Look around you right NOW. What do you feel? Find the beauty in the everyday moments that we often tend to look past. Stop the hamster wheel in your mind for just a few seconds, enjoy and embrace the silence. For to live in the now is to know true peace. In the end, it’s those moments of peace that make the struggle worth it.

“Stop the hamster wheel in your mind for just a few seconds, enjoy and embrace the silence.”
It’s hard to find a better silence than that found in the wilderness where no trace of civilization can be seen or heard.
“. . .here, where there are still the silences and the loneliness of the earth before man, . . .”
-Dick Smith (after which the Dick Smith Wilderness in Santa Barbara was named.
“He leaned forward, peering into the night, trying to see the turnoff in time. On impulse he pulled over and stopped, shutting off the motor and the lights.
He sat very still in the darkness, listening. Listening for what?
With the lights out, the desert was gray tufted with black spots of desert growth. Here and there loomed tall columns, and one rocky mass shaped like a pipe organ.
It was absolutely still. How rarely, he thought, can modern man experience a total silence! Yet the desert had it to offer, as well as the high mountains.”
Louis L’Amour “The Haunted Mesa”
