The Now Things

“We are, always, poets, exploring possibilities of meaning in a world which is also all the time exploring possibilities.”― Margaret J. Wheatley, A Simpler Way

“As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love – even the most simple action.”― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

In the now thing, not the next thing
In the now thing, not the last thing
In the now thing, steeped in presence and attention
Aware and awake
To see the wide expanse, deep beauty
Filled with awe, wonder and gorgeous delight
The now things, on the ground we stand

“Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.”― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
