Friday of Week 26 in Ordinary Time

We have been disloyal.
Refusing to listen to his voice.
We cannot break the knots of the rope’s coil.
How often do we just rejoice.
At this moment are we just relaxing.
Are we enjoying what we are doing now.
Are we future and past worrying.
Do we look up , admiring the view now.
Our mind wants to live in future hope of contentment.
Or dwell on past regrets.
But never in this quite pleasant moment.
We constantly think not of now as it is  but resets.
This is it.
There is no other real it.
……..
Dwell in this moment
It’s all that is truly real
The rest is not now
…… …
See Baruch 1 : 15-22
