Can you dance in the middle of "what is"

rather than "what was" or "what is to come?"

Making plans can be helpful,

excavating the past can be healing,

but, truly, dancing in the now is glorious!

Step into the glory of right here, right now, this breath, this foot on this ground, this hand on this object, this smile, this frown, this laugh, this tear,

this is all-that-is,

wrapped in compassionate awareness,

the glorious glory of right now-- the future is simply curious,

the past is simply an experience,

oh, but this moment,

this precious moment,

is simply peace.
