The pain of now is the joy of now
~ How do you keep a smile from fading?
~ How do you share the day with its anger raging in a calm demeanor?
~ Where do you hide life from it all?
In the everlasting now.
It’s cliché to say that life is too short to be anything but now.
And yet it is but an instant that sees the world only ever once.
Never again. Only once.
~ How rare is that?
~ How scarce is it?
~ How invaluable should it be?
The pain of now is the joy of now.
For in the blink of an eye
all disappears in a rosie smile, ready to cry
recognizing that what it just met left without a why
to never be seen except in the joy of a moment anew claiming now as its high.
Until the next ❤️ beat ~.~.~
Love this one ☺️
🙏 “recognizing that what it just met left without a why”. The classic child’s question, “Why?” and we ask it all our lives. If we are lucky, maybe, we come to see the ‘is-ness” of it all.
