Stay Present 11 x 14 Print

Stay present,

That is the most important lesson.

Let us not dwell on the past

Nor on the future,

What is true is here and now,

No need to look any further.

In the hourglass of time,

The sand trickles down.

How much is left?

How much has gone by?

It is easy to get lost

In this never-ending paradigm.

Only to suffering it will lead,

This we must realize.

What we learned from the past

Feel it in this moment.

Heal the past

By healing in the present.

What awaits us in the future,

One’s goalS and anticipations,

Let us realize

They are constructed

By this very moment.

The best we can do

Is do our best now,

And the future will take care of itself.

In deep meditation

On this insight

Let us dwell

To finally arrive to true peace.

Let our minds be at ease

Just this breath,

This one right now

Is all we need.
