Find now. It's strange how the little stuff is really always about then or when, the past or the future. When you realize that, the little stuff is more like a fly buzzing around. You'd rather it not be there, but it really doesn't bother you unless you let it. One of the most effective ways to find now is through your breath, because breath only happens now. Do you have a memory of a really great breath, or a really bad breath? Maybe you got the wind knocked out of you and you remember the absence of breath. Breathing contains the essence of the now -- that's why so many disciplines from psychology to yoga promote deep breathing.
