Live in the moment
savour it
feel it
fully
its texture
its experience
its presence
know it.
This moment
it is what is real
it's happening
right now
and you ought to be present
not far away
with your thoughts and imaginations
This moment is important
If you can live in it
stay with it
be content with it
there is little more
that needs to be done;
it's enough
and you'll be delight
at the simplicity
and wonder of
mindfulness.
In this moment
you can watch
what you are doing
feel the action,
the movements
and sensations;
you can watch
the stirrings in the mind
the intentions and desires,
fears and imaginations,
sorrows and heartaches,
joy and happiness
and everything else;
all can be watched
and known
in this moment.
And that is enough.
For in this moment
you can be calm,
and content,
quiet and still,
and on their own
without your beckoning,
wisdom and understanding come
together with love and compassion
and they grow
and they stay
and you know
there's little else
that needs to be done
'cept to say
in the moment
in the present.
