The Los Angeles Province Fall DESIGNS magazine will be in the mail soon! The theme this season is “The Power of the Present Moment.”
I reached out to many of our sisters and associates and received many beautiful reflections of their experience with how to get themselves into the present moment. We were not able to fit all these pearls of wisdom in the magazine, so I want to highlight them here to help each of us try on different ways of getting oneself alert to the present moment.
This one is from Sister Claudia Wong, CSJ:
Moments can be precious interstices of life like sunshine though trees. Some moments shine with awe and gratefulness, while others are darkened by sadness and disappointments.
Every day I deliberately pause throughout by activities and ask myself, “What am I doing here?”
In these quiet moments, my mind seems to block the wisdom behind the shadows of my existence. At other times, I am enlightened by the sense of the holy like the gentle trade winds through the palm trees. How can I not remember God’s Providence that has never let me down. And so with moments of joy, I continue to give thanks to the God of my interstices of light.
