History Unfolding Now

This weekend I experienced the traveling exhibit Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at its stop in San Francisco. The video above shows many of the astonishing artifacts from more than 3,000 years ago.

Although a focus on history may initially appear to contradict the spirit of being mindful of what is unfolding now, an awareness of history can bring a broader perspective to abiding in the present moment. A sense of history provides connection to the path that brought us to this moment, as well as an appreciation for how history continues to unfold now.
