The Present Moment

It's been twenty years since I first discovered this quotation, and it enchants me today as much as ever it did. This wondrous excerpt from Abandonment to Divine Providence by a Jesuit priest was included in Alan Watts' autobiography, and today I present it as my gift to you:

"If we knew how to greet each moment as the manifestation of the Divine Will, we will find in it all the heart could desire. The present moment is always filled with infinite treasures: it contains more than you care capable of receiving. The Divine Will is an abyss of which the present moment is the entrance; plunge fearlessly therein and you will find it more boundless than your desire."
