Maria's Summary

This week, as I marveled and meditated on my son who is now a little over 7 months old, I just can't believe how fast he is changing. Inasmuch as I celebrate the growing of my baby, I am a little saddened by how quickly he is changing. Earlier on when he was just a newborn, I reminded myself to be present and enjoy each moment. Still, as much as I tried to hold on to each precious moment, I just can't. From moment to moment, it just fades into my distant foggy memory.

This reminds me of impermanence and how we just can't hold on to anything.

Now becomes ever important as there is really nothing except for the present moment. In now, there is the ever brilliant and even in the dreamlike quality of now, it is the most concrete. Beyond that, it is just a shadow.
