Embracing the Now
The now moment
is a measure of time
that is constantly changing.
What comes before it
is the past;
what comes after it
is the future.
I am challenged
to recognize the now moment,
this very important
in-between time
for everything it represents.
The now is the only time
in which I can be
fully present.
I frequently dwell
on the past,
and spend weeks and months
planning for the future.
Yet I long to embrace the now.
It’s OK if I am sad;
let me weep.
It’s OK if I am happy;
let me laugh.
Let me fully experience
all the feelings of
the now moment.
