NOW OR FORGET IT

Ever lose the present because you were more concerned with either the past or future? Really is the fact we have to deal with at times.

Doesn't always mean we end up losing the joy of now, just that it can get lost so easy while thinking in other terms. Which we need to savor in our own way.

Now is the conscious calling. It is the alarm clock droning in our head that says, we can't forget where we've been even if we have moved on.

So we savor where it leads and hope that will make for more smiles than envy. If we succeed then there is laughter.

Today is the banquet sure. It is all we can savor though me might dream of some appetizers or the restaurant we once visited.

But the heart still is trapped in the present, never able to leap past our current pulse to somewhere else. That is our inheritance of mortality

To drift by thought elsewhere is our often choice of release, but we can't thrive there only survive. Which can be a form of death in itself.

Sorry stabs when we tape ourselves into a closet of slow death. It is the passage we wander alone on a borrow ticket.

Never clings to our lives, never savors our mood with something full of jewels. It calls without calling, buries us underneath layers so fluid in swirling regret.

Calling upon the Lord to find the now that touches will always be the way, which serves. It is the way that heals.

We inhale the joy if we dare to see with open eyes. If we savor it that allows God's light to shine into our blinks of distraction.

Having the moment to rejoice. Having the smile to see where the clouds take us. Knowing where tomorrow rides, but no letting it consume us.

It all restores the life within. One heartbeat cherished so richly. We can rejoice instead of mourn.

All in arms of our savor. A place were dreams are enough to let us sleep in peace. Upon the wing of an angel who lets us fly with them.

Towards the dawn we can see jewels and gold. Never letting the other moments than now truly capture where we are. It is enough for the day. Enough for always if we take time to know what we have seen all along.
