What I want in this moment
is my future fulfilled.
What I need is entirely other,
is the stillness within,
itself this moment,
always pregnant, seldom delivered
to specifications, but timely
and right in its essence.

What I want in this moment
is my future fulfilled.
What I need is entirely other,
is the stillness within,
itself this moment,
always pregnant, seldom delivered
to specifications, but timely
and right in its essence.
Thank you!

GIVE UP
It’s time to give up
But who is it that gives up?
Okay I give up

A lovely and timely corrective to some temporally solipsistic swirling I was in the middle of indulging myself in. Thank you for sharing this slice of mindful clarity, Bela 🙂

It would be certainly nice, Bela, if we could see into our future, try to get what we “needed” in a timely manner. Ha ha ha! ♡

I actually wrote this poem at least 10 years ago, Robin. Now I feel as though I wouldn’t want to see my future, even if it were possible. xoxo

Thank you as ever, Hariod 😉 And yes, if there’s any collective nemesis of humanity, surely this must be it! Cheers!

To want a certain thing you must first become a certain person
then that thing is of no importance.
To want for nothing is to have it all._/\_

What a wonderful Image Bella you have added here.. Yes once upon a time I wanted to know what the future held.. Now I am content within that moment, preferring to savour the ‘pregnant’ pauses of life :-)… Which to be honest with you seem less and less, as life speeds along 🙂 ❤
