Playing with words.

While my Before met my After, my Now looked on.  Now was Now Here with NoWhere to Go. Yet I stood with Before and with After completely oblivious of my Now which was NoWhere else but right Now HERE.

Over the years I have learned to look with love at my NOW which was my Before, knowing  it will soon be my After.  In my Now, I am learning how to hold it with gentleness, to treasure and cherish it, as it lay between my Palms, and Slips of Time.

I am typing this right NOW ;). I so long to live in what Eckhart Tolle calls the "Now". I have to keep practicing at it, though. If i am able to stay in the moment, the befores and afters, while shaping my life, really do not matter in that I am giving my full attention to what is happening in the present. So much easier said than done...sigh. Great thoughts you wrote.

It is fun. The Now is a Sneaky Fox.

Yes! I did, its fun to juggle, juxtapose words, make out little Ironies of Life. A Bouquet of Afters, ah! theres an Idea. :)
