Live Now

I bumped into this site [welivenow.org] the other day and came away inspired:

We are a growing collection of friends, powerfully pursuing the notion of ‘living now’. We’re spreading our message through artwork, literature, relationships, exhibitions and more. This movement cannot be confined, is spilling out, and making history.

How did this movement begin? A message from the founder Eric Smith:

Some time ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Instantly perspective changed within me! The fearful, human part of my being wanted to resist this disease, label it as “bad”, and be at the mercy of this situation. But the essence of my spirit knew that this situation could not be isolated from the hidden harmony I seek to follow each day. Having my physical life threatened, provoked within me a strong separation between my spiritual and physical being. Although my physical body was being attacked … my spiritual essence was untouchable.

My experience with cancer was this; Live Now! Cancer changed the way I ate, slept, and most importantly, the way I live. Before cancer I was like most folks, just cruising along. It was during my treatment, when I started to discover what cancer could gift to me — the ability to absorb every moment as if each one were my whole life. The Live Now Project was born!

They have a book:

The Live Now book is a collection of inspirational quotes and illustrations pursuing the notion of living a happy and engaged life.

The book consists of over 100 pages of original artwork from collaborators all over the world. All pages are perforated and easily torn out to hang up or give away to spread smiles.

Here are a couple of examples of the artwork:

A friendly reminder from what appear to be some quality people to live fully, live well… live now.
