This Moment

The Dalai Lama says “the past is just in our memory and the future is just in our imagination, nothing more than a vision”


nothing is real
but the present
this very instant
where I can choose
my thoughts
or adjust them
this very moment
where I can take action
redirect my path
and even make dreams come true

In other words live in the present and choose the direction you want to go because past or future have no bearing. Wise words. love phyl
