*Start *HERE*



Right here.


Right now.


Where we are TODAY.

Shall we?



There is something 

some-thing

utterly fascinating


enchanting


and over-the-top


about this moment


about this day

about now.

Something about it's awakening


stretching


reaching forth to greet us.




There is something about *here*

the remnants of old

the promise of new

together under the same sun.

 

There is something momentous about it

about life and death


holding hands.




Something about yesterday


slowly slipping 


through the cracks


until it is nothing


but a memory


a lesson


a drop under the bridge.





There is something about 


last year


and ten years ago

scattered about

like pebbles


tiny acorn hats


grains of sand


in the corners


of our mind's eye.





There is something

some-thing


about exhaling


a moment ago

And inhaling

now.

What shall we do?
