Paris Street Graffiti - Enjoying the Present Moment
Love does not need to conquer. What is conquered is not "love."
Text and images by Chen Chi-Hsiang. Existence is everywhere; only through awareness can one enjoy the present moment. The present is here and now, nowhere else. Walking in the city or in the countryside presents different contexts and fields. Where the heart is, everything is there; situational awareness resides in the present.
Walking on the bustling streets of Paris filled with fragrant scents, one enjoys life's ever-changing conditions and the surprises of chance encounters. Every person, event, and thing bears witness to the thoughts and moods of the present moment.
Life's meetings are not accidents. This elusive, unsearchable life leaves behind existential consciousness and imprints, guiding growth. To live is the greatest gift and praise between heaven and earth. To be able to enjoy the present moment at any time is life's grace.
