now – The Narrow Path

The Noble Truth.

Everything & everyone is impermanent.

All matter is in a constant state of flow.

Many resist this noble truth.

Hiding from its ever casting shadow.

Running to distraction.

Denying impermanence.

Resistance is futile.

Resistance is suffering.

Resistance steals joy.

The time is now.

To accept this noble truth.

All matter is in a constant state of movement.

Now is the time to live.

Now is the time to love that you are alive.

Not fear your impermanence.

Time.

What time is it?

I glance at my clock.

The time is now.

I must change.

I must grow.

I must let go.

Now.

Impermanence.

The constant flow of time.

A seed grows into a tree.

A baby grows into a young adult.

Dreams.

Love.

Peace.

Compassion.

Joy.

Now.

Breathing in deeply I embrace my impermanence.

Breathing out I feel joy pulsate throughout my body.

I vow to not waste my life.

I vow to live in the now.

For this is not my practice life.
