Past and present collide into right now, this moment, this breath, these eyes seeing directly across at my table. If I take my life in little moments, at this moment I am sitting here content, with my dog sleeping by my side, enjoying just being alive and seeing another second come to be. Although outside these walls of mine there are terrible things happening, unhappy people in unhappy circumstances, but for just right now in this one little minute passing by, I can forget that and just be, and not think about anything new or old just right now. My body feels good, nothing hurts, I am not hungry, I am not thirsty, I need for nothing and I crave nothing new. This is a simple yet grand moment, at least when I’ve sat here and appreciated it.
