“We are vulnerable to fear only when we leave the present. If I drift into the past, my regrets surge up, my memories of failing and forsaking. If I shift into the future, I meet with doubt and delusion, fear of what's to come, what I'm not capable of controlling. It's in the present moment that I belong.” IfsMomentsPastFearMemoriesDoubtFailingRegretFutureCapableVulnerableDelusionPresent Moment Author:Jan Phillips
