I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking: "My name is I Am." He paused. I waited. He continued, "When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I Was. When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I Will Be. When you live in this moment,it is not hard. I am here. My name is I Am."
