You are here
says the map.
So I find my bearing.
A plan to hold.
Destination nearing,
I’m feeling bold.
You are here
says the map.
I squint my eyes and peer
at ruts below.
No finish line, not here.
Miles left to go.
You are here
says the map.
And though I’ve come so far,
not much has changed.
Where you go, there you are,
the ‘you’ remains.
You are here
says the map.
Not where I was before.
Or where I’ll be.
Here. Now. No less. No more.
Ever, always, entirely me.
Life is for living,
Not doing or going or getting or having,
Simply
Being.
Me.
Here.
Now.
I am here.
Today
That’s enough.
So here’s me, remembering my One Word for the year. Today.
So Here's Us...
