Thank you so much for your writing, Renuka. It truly resonates with my current circumstances. I came to the mountains to think more and to live a simple and mindful life. However, I was in the middle of a chaos after certain events—a battlefield where the enemy was me, the only person I could never escape.

I'm confronted daily with these thoughts; one more yoga session, one more cooking, one more Medium article, one more book page. It's an endless list of tasks that continues until the very end of our lives.

I've dedicated my time to thinking about becoming better at being in the moment. Learning to be in the sole fraction of a second where I am is not easy. However, only being present, not being in the past or the future can truly set you free.
