“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
– Buddha
The essence is to live in the present moment and focusing on the Now because that is all we have. The past and the future are only concepts in our mind and while they are good for planning and remembering being stuck in an endless loop is dangerous.
Photo of the Day – Buddha Beach
In Sedona, Arizona lies Red Rock State Park. The highlight of Red Rock is Cathedral Rock which is a famous rock formation that is featured in alot of older, western movies made in the 70s. However, there is also a very spiritual place called Buddha Beach. Here individuals balance rock formations and meditate/pray in hopes of awakening ancient spirits. There are literally hundreds of these rock formations all within a football field area. So much so that I had to contort myself around several rock formations (being careful not to knock them down – I don’t want any weird spiritual juju) in an effort to get low enough to take this shot with the Red Rocks in the background.
