Now or Never

"Life is what happens to you, when you are busy making plans for your future"
What a profound statement! So simple yet captures the whole intricate fact of life. This is how my life is going on. So I started wondering exactly how much time in my day to day routine I actually live in now, and do I cherish those moments.
The later part was easy to answer. Absolutely!! Former is hard to recall... May be a little bit in the morning hours, when I stand at my patio to greet the sun and smell the air, before the mind catches up with what all things to worry about for today. May be when the fragrance of ginger comes out of the morning tea and passes through my nostril admist of rain droplets. May be when someone on the way greets me with a smile, or when in our mill creek I see ducks stretching out their wings under sun and jumping in water at a gentle noise. Or after an exhausting workout, when i simply lie down and catches up with my breath. At work, when I am actually working instead of thinking or discussing about working. On my way home, when its dark pitch and I am driving on an empty road and humming a song not bothering about who is listening to it. A couple of similar times here and there.
Except for these moments I see my mind constantly working like a cluster of hyperthreaded servers with much advanced page ranking algo than google and fastest cache retrieval and memory storage system..Even while i am writing this, I can see my mind searching for right words, rephrasing the contents to make it more presentable for someones reading in future.
And then I wonder...."What is life full of cares, if we have no time to stand and stare"
