Today, my wife and I were about to leave the house when I got the sudden feeling I had forgotten something. I began to look around the family room to see if I could find what I was looking for.

“What’d you forget?” my wife said.
“I don’t know.”
“Did you lose something?”
“My mind.” I said.
She then used herself as an example and pointed to her head with her index finger.
“It’s right here.” she said.
I then pointed to my own head.
“Oh,” I said, confirming.

The act of pointing to my head brought me into the present moment. The moment that is now, the only moment that there is. Thanks to my wife, I found what I was looking for.
