Living In The Moment

Just the other day I was eating dinner at home and taking my time on the steamed fish.

It may sound stupid but for a few minutes I actually felt a strange sense of peace and calm. No worries, no other thoughts, no turbulences or whatsoever, just the fish and me. I just felt like I was really just eating and living in the moment alone.

I mean how many times do you actually eat without thinking about work, what to watch on tv, how many calories you're consuming? How often are we talking to friends without constantly checking our watches and worrying about being late for lessons? Don't you more often than not have your mp3 players plugged in while reading your novel or newspaper on the train?

For the most part of the Melbourne trip, I was too engrossed in capturing sights on film (ok or rather, on the CF card). Guilty of not living the moment as it was and enjoying the trip fully. Sometimes a holiday could be a better one without arming yourself with a camera. Learn to commit everything to memory!

And right now as the new semester begins, job worries seem to have found a parking lot at the back of my head.

Multi-tasking and worrying are curses to the human mind.
