Each moment is a portal.
It opens into the present.
When we step through, we enter paradise.
Paradise is not a place in this world.
It is not something to find in the future.
It is here, now, in this moment.
The mind seeks endlessly.
It looks for joy in the next thing.
But true joy arises when we stop searching.
When we become still,
we discover that paradise was always within us.
Breathe.
Feel the life inside you.
Notice the world around you.
In the stillness of this awareness,
you find the peace that you thought was lost.
The portal to paradise is always open.
It is always now.
