Tomorrow's mission - Today's awareness

Tommorow morning I will be cooking for an undetermined amount of people, for three meals.

I have no idea what is for breakfast. I have no idea how many will come to breakfast. And I have no idea who will be helping me.

Awesome.

Day after day I encounter friends and people who really are dying to know what
happens next, what their lives will hold for them, what they should do, where they should go, and all of the like.

Why? I ask them. If we knew, we would mess it up. And since we don't, and really have no conceptual way of predicting things precisely, then the best thing to do is to take stock of the moment. As long as we are in the moment, we will always see the future. The future is in each step.

If we learn to see the entire journey in each step, then the journey becomes shorter.

That is, to say, if we see what is to be seen where we are, we will be paying no mind to our destination, which is indeed and should be the awareness that comes from being present in each moment.

So tommorow, when I get where it is i am going, I will cook whatever is there, for whoever is there, however I have to, with whatever is there, and however many people there are to help. I have no way of knowing what will happen.

I am sure of one thing, however. I am assured of it's presence in my future.

I will use LOVE.

Love,

Tenzo
