The journey of healing and bringing peace to our inner kingdom requires us to tend the garden of the present moment. This ancient wisdom shows us where our energy leaks; read it as a loving prescription, knowing that persistence, consistency, Self Love and a deep commitment to joy are the medicine.
My love and joy
The past is already gone. It cannot touch you, hurt you, or change you anymore. The future has not arrived. It has no form, no certainty, no power of its own. Yet the mind keeps traveling back and forth between these two illusions and calls it suffering.
Memory replays what was.
Imagination invents what might be.
And the present moment is left unattended.
This is how pain turns into prolonged suffering.
In Buddhism, this is a central insight: suffering does not come from life itself, but from the mind’s attachment to thoughts. When you relive the past, you reopen old wounds. When you worry about the future, you create pain that has not yet happened.
The body is here.
The breath is here.
Life is happening now.
Peace begins the moment you return to the present. Not by forcing thoughts away, but by gently seeing them for what they are — memories and projections, not reality.
You don’t need to fix yesterday.
You don’t need to control tomorrow.
You only need to be here, now.
Freedom is not found by changing your past or predicting your future.
It is found by waking up to the present moment — the only place where life actually exists.
