To have a contemplative spirit depends on our ability to live in each present moment; to leave the past behind and avoid jumping into the future with thoughts either good or bad.
Memories of time past can be a positive affirmation in the present moment, yet it can also be dangerous because we might become attached to experiences we have had and forget to enjoy the beauty of the present moment.
The same can happen when we allow our minds to wander ahead into the 'what if' syndrome and our imagination takes flight!
Living in the 'NOW' is the basis for contemplation where we are grounded in what life is truly all about.
A contemplative spirit is one who is able to be silent and open to divine inspiration. We allow ourselves to be in the presence of God without feeling any desire to do or say anything.
Contemplation is a God-Conscious state and very rewarding to whoever is willing to give time and awareness to the Presence of God.
