Red Lights -- Part 12

You're late! We're all late from time to time. How do we react? Do we blame it on another driver, a wrong turn, bad directions, unreasonable traffic? How about that red light that never seems to change?

Red lights are a wonderful opportunity to practice presence. Mostly we approach them as a pause or a delay in our trip. They are certainly that as far as Mind is concerned.

So we wait. And when we wait we waste. We waste the precious present moment, the only thing there ever is...because we are waiting to get to the next moment. The one where we can take our foot off the brake and accelerate forward. On to the destination!

What ever happened to "It's The Journey That Matters, Not The Destination.?"
