Every moment we have the choice to either just let the moment slip by in the hope of something better, or to just live fully in it. We decide to make the moment a memory by being present in it. It is our choice to dance in the rain, or wait for the sun to shine. Whatever be the case, our attitude and response defines our memories.
I am sharing one of my favorite zen parable. Finding joys in unexpected places, discovering pleasures in our daily life is what leads us to experience a full life. Enjoy the parable and grab and savor the strawberries in your life.
One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a
vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff.
Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the
fatal precipice.
As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine.
Suddenly, he noticed on the vine a plump wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it in his mouth. It was incredibly delicious!
