Here I Am

How extraordinarily powerful these words are

If we could truly understand them.

If only for one instant,

We could truly live these words,

We would never be the same again.

Here

No escape into the past or

Journey into the future.

Just abiding in this eternal now.

I

Who or what is this ‘I’ ?

With a story, 

 ‘I’ is a person, burdened with a past and future.

Without a story, 

‘I’ is presence, living in the present, always new.

Am

Being as opposed to doing.

Completeness as opposed to lacking.

Is-ness as opposed to becoming.

If only for one instant,

We could truly live these words,

We would never be the same again.
