In the Moment

Experience the moment.

Breathe it in.

Watch it. Observe it.

Ignore the din

 

In your surroundings--

The chatter, the clatter.

Just this moment

Is all that should matter.

 

Let the moment

Fill you completely.

Notice how subtly

And how discreetly

 

Your body responds

As calm imbues you.

Breathe in and out;

Let it suffuse you.

 

Thoughts will come

And thoughts will go;

Just don’t hold them;

Go with the flow.

 

Ideas pass by

Like images on a screen.

Watch them proceed.

Don’t intervene.

 

If the sensation

Of being bathed in light

Pervades your being,

That’s quite all right.

 

Past, present,

And future exist

All in this moment;

Life is a mist,

 

A cloud, a dream,

A river that flows,

A flash, the morning

Dew on a rose.

 

Observe how everything’s

Interrelated;

Are you meditating

Or being meditated?
