Rupert Brooke had mastered the art of living in the present moment that made ordinary things specially loveable. I have found the book The Power of NOW, by Eckhart Tolle very helpful in learning to live fully in the present moment. You may like to read it. I Quote: 'Use your senses fully: Be where you are. Look around - just look, don't interpret. See the light, shapes, colours, textures. Be aware of the silent presence of each thing.' Tolle tells us to stop worrying about the past and future - live fully in this moment because NOW is actually all we have. Do not always be wanting to be where you are not! ! Then cups and sheets and blankets become things we can truly love....as Brooke had discovered.
I would like aid in interpreting the great lover. Any comments would be useful!
