Finding joy in the present moment from "summary" of Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore Gitanjali: Collection of Tagore Poems by Rabindranath Tagore
I have had my invitation to this world's festival, and thus my life has been blessed. My eyes have seen and my ears have heard. It was my part at this feast to play upon my instrument, and I have done all I could. Now, I ask, has the day come upon me to lay down my lute and silence the strings?The present moment is all we have, a fleeting and fragile gift that we must cherish. In the midst of life's chaos and turmoil, it is easy to lose sight of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us. But if we can learn to find joy in the present moment, we can truly appreciate the richness of life. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easy to get caught up in worries and anxieties about the future. But if we can learn to focus on the here and now, we can find peace and contentment in the present moment. This is where true happiness lies, in the simple pleasures of life that are all around us. Every moment is precious, a gift to be treasured and savored. We must learn to embrace each moment with an open heart and a grateful spirit. In doing so, we can find joy in the smallest of things, in the laughter of a child, in the beauty of a flower, in the warmth of the sun on our skin. To find joy in the present moment is to be fully present, to be mindful of the world around us and to appreciate the beauty and wonder that is all around us. It is a practice that requires patience and discipline, but the rewards are immeasurable. So let us learn to find joy in the present moment, to appreciate the beauty and wonder of life that surrounds us. Let us embrace each moment with gratitude and love, for in doing so, we can truly experience the richness of life's feast.
