Quote

Not reaching back for what was lost in my yesterdays. And not reaching for what I hope will be in my tomorrow. But living fully with what is right in front of me. And truly seeing the gift of this moment.

When we have the same thought again, the line of the original thought is deepened, causing what's called a memory trace.
