The Muse is well aware of this. Her focus is that bird, those squirrels, this meal, this walk, this treat, that dog, that cat, that other dog.... Dwelling on missing the mailman yesterday or longing for a swim tomorrow isn't part of her reality. (Although she does have an uncanny way of ramping up the back-seat-barkfest when we near The Trail or The Other Trail or Spencer and Willow's House or The School Yard Where We Play Fetch, so she remembers, apparently, Places Where There Will Be Fun).
Poochbuddhas know that The Present (name no coincidence) is where everything happens. It's where we can make choices to react or respond to what life sends our way. We feel our feelings, think our thoughts, and take our actions in the Now.
So being fully here makes perfect sense. We can change what we do/think/feel/choose right Now. We can't change the past or the future (or other people or the truth - but those are posts for another day).
The Muse loving her Present
Poochbuddhas know that when they are dwelling in the past or the future, they are more prone to feelings of regret, guilt, anxiety, envy, and remorse. Better to be right here right now, yes?
A friend asks, Where are your feet right at this moment? Why not be here with them?
