The Gift of The Present Moment
Find joy in the here and now.
The present moment
is all we ever truly have,
fragile, fleeting,
yet infinite in its depth
The past is a story
our minds replay,
softened or sharpened
by memory.
The future is a promise
that may never arrive,
a horizon
we keep chasing.
But this moment,
this breath, this heartbeat,
this flicker of awareness,
is real.
Itβs the only place
where life unfolds,
where love is felt,
where meaning takes root.
When we learn to rest here,
in the fullness of this moment,
we discover
that the here and now
is a precious gift,
where all life truly lives.
