Present time , the present is an offering, a present . Learn to dare and know how to receive . See without looking . Hear without listening . Smell without sniffing . Taste without ruminating . Feel without touching . Understand without thinking . Knowing without knowing more . Handle the shovel without exhausting the sea . Live fully in the present . Live totally in the present . It's not about recklessness . Nor is it about predicting the future. It is not a question of accumulating protections against all these fears that we invent . It is a question of developing in each present strengths and resources that will allow us to face what will happen . It's about enriching the present . It's about letting confidence arise , It's about contemplating the flower without picking it . It's about entering into resonance with what we distrust . Resonance demands peace . And even more peace of heart and soul . Any resonance is impossible without the inner tumult . Start by making the mind available for the real , and ban the question : " what can i take ? " to replace it with : " What did he give me ? "
