A little 'as in the film "Something in Beverly Hills," where an electronic billboard on the highway gives hints to the hero, these days I get continuous messages (TV, advertising, books, magazines, people) focus on "living the present." I can not say if it is a period in which they are particularly receptive to such suggestions, or if it became a fad and everyone is talking about, but it's incredible the number and quality of connections.
I am reminded of an old African Niger, which, to us tourists are concerned that the rainy season could ruin the lineup of travel, he repeated, smiling, "is On." It 'no use worrying about the night before of what might happen the next day. When and if it happens we will face it. That phrase embodies an approach that I tried to carve into memory. We can not control everything, it makes no sense. And 'there that began on my first trip to Africa, that's where I began to understand the approach to the life of many Africans, that's where I started my desire to learn a bit' more thoroughly their pace of life. Perhaps it is from there that I'm back in Africa whenever I could and always alone to approach gradually to their culture, despite my origins and my skin color.
Unfortunately, when I return, I get sucked into our own rhythms, from the habit of thinking ahead to a sort of flow charts of situations (if it happens to do B or C, if C happens back to A, etc.). Tons of thoughts and energies totally unnecessary. It would be nice to be able to lighten, put aside the difficulties of the past and enjoy the present without smashing any more. On
will. C'est tout.
