occupy this moment
touch it with your tenderness,
bring it to your lips,
listen for its song
see every side of it
each subtle dimension
all the curves and angles,
the center moving out
meet this moment fully
expansion and contraction
expressing through shadow
the way it catches light
meet this moment fully
expansion and contraction
expressing through shadow
the way it catches light
occupy this moment
ride it like a wave,
and in the next instant
a tide of rising and falling
the world is made again
The present moment is the only place we can ever really know anything, connect to anything, be fully alive. Every moment is full of potential, the potential to experience, but the the thing is we have to actually be there to experience the world in front of us, or the one within us. I often find myself lost in my thoughts, lost in my mind, somewhere other than experiencing the present moment, but I have practices like yoga, dance, meditation and writing that help me to come back to now, what is happening now, what I am feeling, seeing, touching. It is worth showing up for.
