Today was diferent although not to much. I waked up and I decided writing about the present’s eternity. For sure, when write’s about this topic its approach it’s counterintuitive but after a long reflecftion just the present is all that we’ve. Yes, it’s. The present is the unique thing that always travel with us in this long trip called life.

Precisely, the past refers to all the present moment that pass away in our early days and the future will be each one of the days that will be in the subsequence days. Jorge Luis Borges used Aleph as the word that define all the times in one moment and place this definition is really close in my definition. We’ve a personal aleph everyday our present’s eternity.

The present’s eternity is the day where you wake up and took your half hour of meditation, after that check your facebook page to received a little piece of pleasure with the notifications through your cellphone. Even your present’s eternity is when your decided create a story draft with handwriting notes in a new notebook and after that create this post.

The present’s eternity is choose one option with the certaintly that you lose every one of the other options and stay happy about that ’cause you has the willpower above those posibilities. This is the miracle, you understand that on-the-spot non-exist any another change in that record that you storage in your mind.

Seized this opportunity, ’cause everyday looklike as the same but always we’ve a different and that’s the miracle. Dear reader, how do you live the present’s eternity? How do you travel this inexorable path to the final journey, that’s the death?
