It’s All Here Now

Check to see if you’re breathing
No, really. Just check
Ah, you see, sometimes I realize I’m holding my breath
What for? I wonder…
I guess, the same reason that you may be holding yours

For that version of reality
For that thing to finally happen
For when this thing will get completed
When I will be this and this way
And the world will be that and that way
And life would meet this checklist
Oh, the pressure of collectively held breaths…

Inhale
Now is also the future
that you once waited for with baited breath
What did you anticipate you would feel
having gotten this far?
Have you taken a moment to feel that?

Now is also the past that
you will look back on, with nostalgia
What are the little things you’ll miss
saying it’s not the same as ‘back then’
Well, they are here now
The past, the present, the future
It’s all here now
Exhale

Inhale
The thing you are waiting to be, have, or happen
It exists already now
in some form
Maybe as a wish…or an idea.. an early stage or a partial one..
You can already feel what you want to feel then
if you allow yourself
You can already claim some of what you want to claim in the future

Notice how it is already here
In a form, in a way
Notice you have access to it now
It’s all here
Now
Exhale.
