Lifes Compass
Being in the moment is challenging
To our wandering minds when we are asleep.
But, being in the moment doesn’t have to be challenging
To our wandering minds when we are awake.
One State of Being is like a butterfly’s wings
That flap back and forth between the past and the future.
The other State of Being is like the power behind the wind
That drives our thinking about life’s compass.
We can think to the north or the south or to the east or the west,
Or we can think up or think down or think sideways,
Or we can think in the moment and hear the ticking of a clock
And remain vigorous and joyful and steer how we travel through time.
