The Gift of Present

I've been working hard on this idea of living in the moment, being present. For so much of my life I've worried about the future. Where my next job will be, when I'll have enough money to go on vacation, where my kid will get into college. Taking up yoga and practicing mindfulness has helped me tremendously in this endeavor. And today, I got a sign from the universe. Out of the clear blue, I got a message. A message with an underlying message. The words said what they had to, but the message said so much more.

The Gift of Present
by Laurie J. Kemp

Be who you know how to be
change your beliefs and your values for no one
there is a time and a place
and it is always here and now
soon enough you will find yourself in both
those ideals and ideas held dear will guide you
in a new and unexpected direction
and you will be ready because you have been waiting
patiently giving of yourself the way you know how
in a place that receives what you have to offer
and gives your soul the nourishment it needs
the future will become the present
and your moments will be here and now
the gift of present
