To experience the here and now is a practice I have been doing since the 70's (Alan Watts' Here and Now) yet I feel as if I'm just now truly realizing the "meaning" or how it works for me in my life. When my mind travels in the past, I feel some regret and when I project into the future, I have anxiety. Only the present moment is perfect. It sounds so simple but it took me years of practice to fully enjoy the present. Thank you, Dr. Smith, for the great article and for living without the ornaments.
