Spirits Among Us

Who are these spirits among us that we know are there, yet we cannot see? Loved ones, surely, who have passed on to the dimension of their destinies; they among others more mysterious. Lingering, perhaps returning, to prompt us to remain aware of " The Present Moment ". Beseeching us to stop these stories in our mind of things to come and of times that have passed. " Be still ", they urge. Breathe stillness. Live now. Better to live in this moment than to chase the future or try to alter memories. Phil Miller
