Solstice And Time

birdbath with leaves and trees in the background. the reflection in the water reveals a hint of blue sky.

Yesterday was the solstice, today is the first day of (astronomical) winter. The passage of time is marked by events that spin past. What will allow us to remain in the center of all that is? we get to decide what that center holds. We get to decide where meaning and purpose reside. We get to choose what is important in this moment. Every moment. But just for a moment.

Yesterday.

Today.

Seasons.

Now.

Then.

Before/Later.

Time, cycles, spinning, spinning,

spinning

This moment is all there is.

Before is lost.

Next is unknown.

This moment. This moment. This moment.

What endures?

Only this moment.

This NOW.

Be present NOW.

Be aware NOW.

Live NOW.

Strive NOW.

Love NOW.

kNOW in this moment all is that is

NOW.

will you choose this one moment
