is sitting with the discomfort
the wishes for something
different
something more daring
more wild
more free
and still knowing
you are exactly where
you are supposed to be
you might ask:
and how do i know
this is really
where
i am supposed to be?
how do i know
there isn't something
better, bigger, bolder
just waiting for me
to claim it?
and God
and all His disciples
and the Masters
and the Prophets
would answer you the same:
Here
Now
This moment
is always
always
exactly where
you are supposed to be
there is nothing
ever
else to seek
and then the question
inevitably arises:
but i don't want
to be stuck here
forever
i have dreams, plans, goals
i have a vision
for this life
and that is the precise
moment
of Acceptance:
keeping the dreams alive
walking purposefully
towards them
all the while staying
in this Moment
all the while knowing
where you will one day arrive
will never bring you
any more happiness
any more joy
any less pain
any less sorrow
than is already
being offered to you
right Here
right Now
just settle in
to Now
