Jon Kabat-Zinn
You know, if you miss the look in your child's eye one day, you've missed it. If you missed the look in your lover's eyes the next day, you've missed that. If you miss the beauty of sitting under trees, well, you've missed that. If you sum that over many moments, many years, you may wind up missing the most beautiful aspects of your own life. Who are you going to blame for that? I was too busy? Well, who was too busy? Who tells oneself, "I don't have any time," when all you've got is time? All you've got is this moment. And we might as well take it while we're alive, because sooner or later, we're going to be dead. So the perfect moment is this one.
