Now and then...


It’s always a dance, isn’t it — 
Trying to be attentive 
To the wisdom and the beauty of the now 
While remaining aware of its context... 
Past and future moments 
Can so easily overshadow and obscure, 
Dominating our thoughts 
Until we become so focused 
On that looming, larger picture 
That we never even notice 
The simple grace that’s blooming right before our eyes.
