Yeah, so, as I was saying,

 

I am not now paying any particular attention to my breathing and I

purposely put a scowl on my face to try to understand today's

Teaching from the wewalk.net people or person.

 

OK, so I'm not breathing consciously, nor am I smiling.

 

What is my relationship to this present moment at this point?

 

OK, now I have a big shit-eating grin on my face and I'm breathing

very consciously.

 

So now, at this point, presumably I am closer to the present moment

than just a minute ago when I was not doing either.

 

No, I don't think so, feller.

 

Ya gotsta go back to the drawing board on this one, I think.

 

Or not.

 

May the Lord consciously breathe in and through you and may He bring

a smile to your face and may you be even closer to the present moment

than you are right this very minute, i.e. NOW.

 

Smiling all the way to the divine bank,
