A moment we all share.
#1
Life is but a moment in time.

An everlasting moment.

A never lasting moment.


It is brief.

It is now.

We live.


If you are reading this, then you and I are alive.

We share in this moment, you and I.

This now is yours and mine.


You can chase the past or the future.

But you'll never get out of now.

Now is all you know.


Memories and dream are alike.

They are intangible.

Now is real.


Experience the now.

Appreciate the moment.

It is ours, and we belong to it.


Live in the moment.

Well, okay. But:

Want to avoid having to come to terms with past trauma? Live in the moment!
Can't move beyond your shattered hopes for the future? Live in the moment!

Not saying there aren't super enlightened zen guru people who have transcended time and ego and exist as a single unified consciousness consistent across every moment and live as their best selves in the fullness of the now, yeah sure whatever, I'm only pointing out that "live in the moment" is also a great philosophy for cowards who want to avoid the difficult and often painful work of self growth.

I find myself thinking that any and all reality is "now."  

"Now" is an inescapable prison, from a certain perspective... 
the kind of prison where the prisoners don't realize their own enclosure...

Within that "now" one must navigate the 'other' we each create... the individual 'human' world.

It gets complicated.

But understanding it as a 'creation' helps counter the fear which is bred from the chaos it engenders.

Beautiful thoughts, shared a moment in time.

A moment where your soul had something to say.
