The Eye

If we can look with the eye on the present moment we might be able to see what is going on.  We have to focus with both eyes, if we have two good ones.  Some people might say they have only one good eye and so cannot see so well.  But it can be worse, and I don't mean blindness.  You could be looking with one eye to the past and one eye to the future.  No eye is looking on the present moment. The past and future can be resentment, fear, fantasy, happy memories, and so on, but they won't see what is going on in the "NOW."  People say they cannot find God, or connect with others, or peace, or a solution to a now issue.  Often it is because we are not in the moment.  Most answers begin in the moment.  We can only take action now.  We can think about past action or future action, but neither are doing anything at the moment.  When I find myself not focused on what is in front of me, it is usually because I am looking elsewhere.  Yesterday's solution and tomorrow's solution are not today's solution.
