now
now. now. now. now. now. now.
now is my only chance.
now terrifies me.
now can be denied for some time.
now can't be denied forever.
now is an opportunity.
now is when I can love.
now is when I can cherish.
now is when I've mostly hated.
now is when I've often ran.
now I can begin again.
now I can learn from the past.
now I can mature and grow.
now I can make friends with myself.
now I will return to with precision
and gentleness, allowing myself to
let go.
thank you Pema Chodron,
for helping me glimpse the gift of
now.
