The Potential of Now

How this moment changes all other moments.

what we carry from then,
travels to now,
sets the course for someday,

now is our becoming —

to travel farther than our then,
to reach a someday we dream of,
healing must embody the now,

honestly,
there is no then,
there is no someday,
all we have is this moment,

to live a life of:
peace, prosperity, hope, joy, laughter,
we must look at our now,
if then and now those elements aren’t part of us,
why would they come someday?

all we have is now,
now is our becoming.

I think sometimes we feel justified to lash out because of the pain we carry from the past, but it just prolongs the pain and drags it into our present and potentially our future.
I want to live life present to each moment in order to offer the best of me to those in my proximity.
