the moment contains love - the power of now?

[Meerie]

Let's say in the present you are being viciously attacked by another whether it be torture, being shot at or something one would consider horrible.

...

do you realize what just happened? you let your mind wander into some possible negative future scenario...
and away from the present moment?
I dunno, much of this speculation seems so futile.. I mean I have done this, too, and alas still continue to do it, for example if I am scared of a certain event, I tend to imagine worst case scenarios. Usually when this event then takes place I realize that it was never as bad as I imagined and that i just wasted so much time speculating, being caught in a negative spiral. Sometimes those negative thoughts also influence what happened later, sort of like a self fulfilling prophecy.
I guess trust comes into play, trust in the universe and that whatever happens I deal with it when it happens
