“It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future.   Time is a very misleading thing.  All there is ever is the now.”  – George Harrison (1943 – 2001) musician & songwriter (the Beatles)

Now

by Robert Browning, 1812 – 1889

Out of your whole life give but a moment!
All of your life that has gone before,
All to come after it,—so you ignore,
So you make perfect the present,—condense,
In a rapture of rage, for perfection’s endowment,
Thought and feeling and soul and sense—
Merged in a moment which gives me at last
You around me for once, you beneath me, above me—
Me—sure that despite of time future, time past,—
This tick of our life-time’s one moment you love me!
How long such suspension may linger? Ah, Sweet—
The moment eternal—just that and no more—
When ecstasy’s utmost we clutch at the core
While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut and lips meet!

    To be honest, I’m actually struggling with this right now. For me, there is something about being just in the moment that is scary to me, causes fear. But I’m aware that when I’m TRULY in the moment and not evaluating each moment, just being, then life is better. But I keep getting pulled out of “being” mode, into “evaluating” mode and then I suffer as worry, doubt and fear take over. I’m working on minimizing this evaluation mode by doing things like journaling and connecting with others. Isolating leads to over-thinking which is the opposite of what I need. Right now, to be in the flow of life I need connection with other and meaningful activities, including work. My hope is that after doing this for some time, I will be able to appreciate solitude too, and just be with it as I have developed that habit.
