Now

The past is a present idea

The present doesn’t slip Into the past at all It remains totally present

Because there is no past There was no past

There is no time to waste

This now moment that you seek Has you in its jaws

Why wait for enlightenment? Why not go off half-cocked Which is now And already out of your control

This is all space right here Where could you get leverage To affect this? This is all time right now When could you even attempt To change this?

When you comment on life It’s already too late And also too late to withdraw The above comment And this one also And so on

The present moment is not Just a moment Among other moments

The present moment is as subtle As an express train

It was already over Before you started

That which you want to improve Is happening now

Thought does never move From the present

This moment is smooth And continuous And eternal

The past is also now

To think you have to remind yourself To be in the now Is absurd

When observed closely Nothing lingers at all

In the present moment No time exists

The absolute power of this now Is completely overlooked

It’s too late to do anything About now

There is no cause and effect Because this is it There is nothing else to cause this And nothing else for this to affect

Truth is before you think about it

Behind this present clear moment Is not even a trail of ashes

Everything changes Except now

The present isn’t an instant It’s everything

The result of change is always now

Any attempt to Change what occurs Is what occurs

You will never learn from experience Because experience is Only now

There is only what is occurring Right now Change does happen But there is no past   To cause it

Every attempt to reach oneness Is oneness already attempting
