poem

Simply

Can you and I always be touching?
I mean, even times when we're
Buried in the couch and
Reading separate books, totally engrossed.
Can we remain yet in contact
Somehow, like our legs slowly rubbing
Up against one another's
And our toes can be touching?

And when we sit and smile someday
In green vinyl lawn chairs
At the beach, wearing UV-blocking sunglasses,
Deaf to the monotonous ocean crashing,
Our hands, you know, might start digging
Through the sand and tunnel together,
One last give and we'll break through.
We could be touching, then.
Keep your hand there, OK?

No thought makes me happier
Than sandy fingers clasping in the cool damp.

Before you rush away

What's now
+++++++++++++++++++

Before you rush away from this moment, take a look around and
see its beauty. Instead of worrying about what's next, see
the immense value that's already yours in what's now.

Savor the time you're in and the place where you are.
Appreciate all that you have instead of being obsessed with
how to get more.

You are already wealthy beyond all measure. Open your eyes
to now, open your heart to purpose, and experience in rich
detail the miracle that is your life.

There's nothing to be gained by racing furiously away from
this moment in search of more. Instead, put your energy into
accepting all that is and you'll find it is more than
enough.

Put your focus, care, love, attention, interest, curiosity,
purpose and passion into where you are right now. This is
your time and place to live, to achieve, to feel, to learn
and to experience.

Everything you are, you are right now. Be here and live the
richness.

Problems and challenges

The difficulty of the journey gives meaning and value to the
destination. The more effort you put into achievement, the
more that achievement is worth.

The problems and challenges are not there to stop you. Their
purpose is to bring your commitment to the surface where it
can come wholly and powerfully to life.

The tasks that are the most difficult are the ones that make
the greatest positive difference. Situations with the most
formidable problems are where you find the biggest
opportunities.

See the problems for what they are. They provide a clear,
compelling path to strength of purpose, creativity,
effectiveness, commitment and achievement.

Working your way purposefully and persistently through the
challenges will create great and lasting value in your
world. With each difficulty you grow stronger and more
capable.

See the opportunities that the challenges provide. And make
their considerable, substantial value your own.
