“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, do not stare too long at the suspicious doll in the corner. Live in the present — if you dare.”
The present moment holds us, unvarnished and unrelenting. Yet sometimes presence itself unsettles us more than memory or fantasy.
The Shadow of Awareness
The past seduces, the future tempts, but the present confronts. Even an ordinary doll can feel monstrous under the gaze of now.
The Lesson in Uneasy Presence
What disturbs us is often not what is there, but that we finally notice it. Presence demands courage, even in its strangeness.
Practical Guidance
Name your unease instead of fleeing it.
Let the present be strange, and still be yours.
Choose curiosity over fear.
Today’s Practice
Sit for one minute in stillness. Choose an ordinary object. Let it become extraordinary — even unsettling — without looking away.
