pulled this way
and that way
by past and future 
the art of living
is to stay
here and now.

the waves 
pull in all directions
but the ocean 
is unconcerned, 
happy enough
to allow
all movement
without
preference.

in now
you simply
disappear 
into the space
you truly are.
all loving
kindness,
and all creativity,
emanates
from that place.
