What if - or not ?

We often ponder "what if. . . " (such and such has or hasn't happened). What IS or IS NOT, in other words.

Why do we do that?

We seem oddly inclined to overlook, to underestimate, even to dismiss what simply IS!

The present state of being and life gets scanty notice while we're busy pondering, conjecturing, reaching hopefully into the past or the future, ever resulting in more frustration than joy. The present reality arrives on schedule, lacking our scans from imaginary timelines

How sensible is that?

"Enjoy the now,

Enjoy what IS,"

You said,

Preaching to the choir.

Yes, I thought,

Being open to all that is,

Is knowing it requires

'No limits'.

Knowing it must take

The bitter with the sweet.

Knowing that what is

Cannot compromise

With what is not,

Nor be partitioned.

Knowing it will always choose

Pleasure over pain.

No where

To be but here.

No one

To be but I.

No when

To be but now.

The moment

Tells it all

To earth, to sea

To sky.

1. Think about it - now.
2. Know how you want your life to be or not - now.
3. Let it happen - now.

What is time or space

In moments

Of shared caring?

I wonder.

♥

Does the ocean exist

To separate

Heart from heart?

I think not!

♥

Is not a moment fully lived

The closest thing

To paradise on earth?

I think so!

Have you ever started a hub, selected a title, thinking it had merit. But you let it languish, undone, in your Statistics list until you saw a warning on it that it was in danger of being badly categorized by the system, so you figured it was now or never to give it some attention?

Well - I've several of these 'bad apples' in my hub basket. This was one of them. I decided to play with it, which was sort of fun, so I decided to publish it.

I hope I haven't shamed myself. ♥
