Not
to look back with regret,
nursing
the slights, pondering
what ifs, wallowing in the failures,
nor
to look forward with dread,
projecting
the worst to happen.
Just
to be present to the now
with
all its undefined borders,
its
humdrum activities, its ordinary
scraps
of conversation that make up
most
of our lives. It is enough
to
be aware of the tidbits
that
fill our days, an insight,
a
song, a quote, a kindness, a smile,
a
sinking sun – precious things
we
take for granted yet worth
the
trouble to notice, to delight in,
to
be grateful for.
