the now

i have always heard about the need to live in the present, and now i do feel that it is real. no matter how wonderful and magical or dark and depressing the past was, it is the now that matters; the future is still minutes, hours, days and months away and still can be changed.

people change, circumstances change. what may have been once true then may not necessarily be correct now. that is why to be, is to continually do time and time again. you may have done it before, or you may say that you do it, but what that really matters is that you STILL do it. words can sound and make you feel good, but they are ultimately empty until the action has been carried out.

i would like to think that is why people are called human beings.
be-ing, to be, continuously,
in the present,
in the now
