Shh, Be Here
The present moment is always the end, right?
I knew this was coming, been feeling the shift. I’m nearly to the end of this notebook. The next has not presented itself, yet. Or I’m not seeing it yet. But just like it sometimes goes in life, the end wants to be first…
The present moment is always the end, right? The present moment is always the last in line of things that have already happened, and that’s where these words will find you.
It’s been a while. I can tell by the awkwardness of my longhand. See, I’ve been busy making my way. Busy learning a new truth I want to live by.
Shh, be here… that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s a crazy time in the world right now, and I want to make some sense of it. I want to learn how to Be while I’m here. Lots o’ Shh, mostly Being Here. I’m doing listening more- and better, I hope. The thing is there’s a clash happening and I hope we can harness its energy.
Today, this is a love story about how I fell in love with myself. I’m healing and something good is going on in my life. I want to celebrate that. But there’s guilt, too. I think I could be doing more.
This is another tightrope walk, and I’m okay with the chaos. Because maybe it means that, in the end, more people get the chance to feel what I know…
