In the Moment

Love is true, no problem here, no agitation, stress, no words that tip the applecart and leave us in distress. Unless we're careful they will come to set the cat among the pigeons, dump our lives to disarray, counteract our fond expressions! In a flash we use assertions, robbing Peter to pay Paul, no regard for truthfulness as pride precedes the fall. Words in haste, and acts of malice kill our equanimity, murder love, destroy the beauty we have crafted tenderly. All at once we're lost and lonely grasping straws out on a ledge, either way our lives could tumble, we must pull back from the edge. To the fore our fondest yearnings, indiscretions disappear, now abiding in the moment, far from suffering and fear.
