The Precious Present

What we do in each moment of life
How we deal with the stress and the strife
The things that we see and take action upon
Our daily activities from dusk to dawn
Creating a life filled with good...or not
Do we even remember what it is that we sought?

We think, we react, we regret and we plan
Diverting our focus from where we can
Be a conduit for joy, love, peace and more
We need only to return to our core

For there it stays safe and persistent
Even for those the most resistant
Patiently awaiting our return
Greeting us quietly as we learn
To put our focus here and now
Where we're always able to find the Wow

The magic of the moment of all we are
A nurturing, sustaining and creative star
Shining through even the darkest clouds of despair
Making whole even what seems beyond repair
