I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly God was speaking, "My name is 'I am'".
I waited. God continued, "When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not 'I was.' When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not 'I will be.'
When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is 'I am.' -- As seen on the kitchen wall of Saint Benedict's Monastery.
