Now, the Only Point We Contact GOD

The difficulty, stated in its simplest terms,
is not to hold on (to cling to passing things)!
Not to hold on to the fleeting years, for example.
People at seventy tell themselves that they are
as old as they feel they are, and therefore that
they're still young. Whereas the true self tells
us to 'be our age,' or, more profoundly, that NOW,
since it is on the only point at which we make
contact with God, is the best age for us to be."
