Poem
The Now Continuum In the quiet pulse of the present's breath, Lies the secret, the power that outlasts death. Not in the past, where shadows cling tight, Nor in the future, a distant flight. The now, the moment, this sacred time, Where all is aligned, where hearts chime. It whispers, “You are the creator, the key, Unlock your truth, and just let it be.” Since thoughts speak in past tenses, Drop the mind, rely on senses. Embracing and releasing, Pain pangs and pleasure pleasing. There was a beggar who asked me for R10, With a tired face, worn by life's harsh trend. I looked at him, and I asked, "Have you searched deep within yourself?" For many seek outside, not knowing the wealth Lies within, in the heart, in the soul's true song, A treasure that’s been there all along. He sat atop a bucket, weary and lost, I asked, “Have you checked what’s inside, at what cost?” He shook his head, “I’ve never dared to look, Since I got it, I've just sat, in the same old nook.” “Open it,” I said, “See what’s in your grasp, Your power is hidden, break free from the clasp.” He opened the lid, his eyes widened in awe— A golden bar, a life-changing law. No longer a beggar, no longer in need, For inside that bucket lay the seed Of wealth and freedom, the key to his fate, A life transformed, no longer chained by fate. In the now, in the present, you hold your own power, A moment of truth, a single hour. What you seek outside, you already possess, It’s within, it's yours—nothing less. For the continuum of time is vast, But the now is your anchor, built to last. Embrace the present, let it be your guide, In this eternal now, you cannot hide. So rise, creator, in this space so wide, The universe moves, and you’re the tide. In the now, your future is spun, You are the light, the moon, the sun. In the now, your future is done, The present is where you’ve already won.
