Now

“May you find Him now!” (Page 58, Big Book)

During the day, many situations arise that attract my attention, and many of those rightly so, because I must act.

The danger is that such situations spill over into the times preceding and following the situation: thinking about the situation unnecessarily, brooding, preplaying, replaying, fulminating or railing mentally.

The ideal is this:

Pause, consider, do it, forget about it until such time as the ball is batted into my court.

And then return to the now, which is where reality and God are.
