Be, Here, Now.

Now’s the only time

And here, the only place

To be

And yet

More and more

It’s our being that we flee

Elsewhere costs us thought

Complex synaptic firing

Conjures concepts, then, and there

Through effortful rewiring

Why this work, just to avoid?

Native moments of our lives

Where did Here hurt us?

When did Now divide?

To be present, in a body

An ego seeds control

Maybe that’s the thing we fear

The opening to Whole

Whole brings sadness, grief, misery

And countless monsters, more, besides

Egos don’t survive here-now

They say it’s safer not to try

But survival, is not the goal

Of life

Beauty, poignance, soul

Let’s look these monsters in the eye

Here and now, before we die

So with my cup, I invite you

To set your fear aside

Join me: be, here, now

And experience The Ride
