It is the present moment,

unblinking and fixed in place.

It is a quiet mind,

being okay with where you are in the race.

It fights nothing

and embraces all things.

Cancer, addiction,

all the things that make us happy or sad.

fear and guilt

take us away

from the glory of this moment

where God has his presence and sway.

Breathe deep and embrace the now

and exhale debris from the future and past;

For God sits and waits right here

with open arms, offering a love that lasts.
