 Editor’s note: Most of us go through life with our thoughts either reliving past moments or thinking about future tasks or goals. Unfortunately, the discrepancy between the thoughts one has, and the reality one encounters is the source of much of our suffering. As we become more conscious, we start living more in (and appreciating more) the present moment. This week, let’s all strive to cherish the present moment more deeply. –Ameeta |

Words are windows, or they’re walls,
They sentence us, or set us free.
When I speak and when I hear,
Let the love light shine through me.
