Enjoy the moment and the Company

 

 

It is never so lonely

as when

we abandon ourselves

 

Even in a crowded festive moment

the thing we forget

too often,

Is to sit in our present moment

 

Instead, we often skip along

the surface,

briefly touching others as we

skip along

 

Getting lost in the tonal image

of sound and music,

never letting the souls around us

penetrate the cloud

Where we often overspend our time

 

And yet they see us smiling

and laughing

and think we’re present,

When nothing could be further

from the truth

 

For they are engaged with

the co-processor,

that always churns in our brain

with no deliberation

 

While the main CPU churns away

somewhere else

 

But only in that moment, when we

return to our bodies,

firmly grounded in the present

Can we grab hold of ourselves and the switch

 

To have the awareness of mind

to remind ourselves,

to shut the damn computer off

 

And enjoy the moment and the company

Skillfully crafted

Skillfully crafted instructions for being mindful and present in a world that lures us into the trap of shallow living: 

 

"Instead, we often skip along

the surface,

briefly touching others as we

skip along"

 

So true and well said! What a tragedy to only briefly touch others when that connection is one of the main reasons why we're here. With convincing and powerful language, you inspire us to live authentically, in the one eternal now, the serenity of no-time, and reconnect with what truly matters. 

 

Life-altering guidance. 

 

 

 

 

 

Spinoza's picture

a strange phenomena of the modern world

 

Most people are incapable of sitting alone with themselves in the moment. Hence the reason they anaesthetize themselves with constant entertainment.

now is all

 

Now is all. All is now. Nothing further exists.
