Sometimes, we feel that we’re in a moment that is of lesser value. Maybe you’re doing the dishes, or taking the bus, or paying the bills. We feel that the moment is just a means to something else, and not a moment worth paying attention to for itself. But categorizing moments in this manner is a function of our minds, and not a feature of Reality itself. Every moment is a moment in which we are free to exist in the beauty of Creation. You may “have to” do the dishes, but you’re still free to enjoy Existence, free to feel that you are, in this very moment, alive. This state is unconditional, you can access it at all times. And when you do, and you look around, you may find that the moment you’re in was very much worth your attention, anyway.
