I know that a minute change in any of these events would likely have negated my birth which causes me to deeply appreciate the remarkable gift of my being here and now. As Eleanor Roosevelt wrote: “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call it ‘The Present’”

Tim has advice on how to get the most out of The Present in his “Counsel to the Winter Wea-

He writes: “The sky darkens, and the snow falls again staged with ice and chilled winds. Our hearts droop: ‘No, not again, won’t it ever stop!’ We shovel, scrape, complain and threaten. ‘Too long, and disappointments.

Make this day, this moment count. Dream of tomorrow but remember that dreaming is only part of the fun of today. Complain and ventilate but balance it with the effort to create new meaning now. Dream of yesterday but also be awake to:

‘This homeland is as beautiful as the homeland of our childhood.’” (The Miracle of Mindfulness, TH Hahn)

Tim continues:

“Slow down, do less, and rest, soon we will rise from our winter fatigue and mindset. And above all accept, accept, accept... .” •

How can we not waste this precious once-in-a-lifetime day of late winter? If we hurry through these days, other more pleasant times will also fly. If we find nothing here - there will be less there. Spring with its bright flowers and soft rains will also have problems - new and demanding. Spring with its warm winds and budding trees will also bring its hurts www.shawangunknaturepreserve.com

The Shawangunk Nature Preserve is a deep ecology, forever wild, 501©(3), learning and cultural center. Tim and Peggy still live there and can be contacted through their website.
