Introduction
It was a quiet drive to The Wood. One I have enjoyed many a days clearing my head through the peaceful backroads but was quickly punched in the face by the power of the open fields at The Wood as the wind came with a vengance but the PAX were up for the task.

CoT:
Although it may be difficult for us to understand the physical dimension of time, the truth is that life is now. There has never been a time when your life wasn’t now.
The present is so transient that what I just said is already part of your past. The future, on the other hand, is what you project when you think about what you’ll be doing next instead of focusing your whole being on what’s before you. The present moment is the only time we can modify with our actions and decisions.
We sometimes put so much of our energy into thinking about the past or future that we don’t realize just how quickly the present moment flies by. It’s important for us to stop for a second and think about the number of times we’ve kept ourselves from living in the present moment just out of fear of future or memories.
If our happiness currently consists mainly of memories and expectations, we’ll only be vaguely aware of the present moment. If we do this a lot, we won’t be able to be fully conscious of what goes on around us. That keeps us from enjoying the little things and experiencing them fully. Breaking the habit of constantly looking back and forth will be of great help if we want to enjoy our current reality.
Focusing only on the future or past can jeopardize our present to the point where we start asking ourselves if we’re living in the real world or if it’s all a fantasy. The present moment doesn’t last for a lifetime. Today seems eternal, but it won’t exist tomorrow.
The simple message is this men. Today there will be a lot of speculation about the future or the “what ifs” of the past do not dwell on that but focus your attention right now in this very moment 100% vested in the present. AYE!
