A Meditation on Being 
Think of the parallel universe, of the many selves, of the eternal now moment that offers up
an eternally new past, a possible future,
Think of yourself as you might exist ubiquitous or only microscopically - but both at once-the particle in the wave.
Decide.
Decide to exist wherever it feels best - don't get caught in the moment when there are so many to choose from.
Climb the board of alternate states of consciousness; ride the great One you are; talk to yourself magnanimously, happily, eternally, with pleasure.
Follow the breath as it moves, with everything, in and out in the ever-widening, ever-tightening circle.
Do not take it, but let it take you into the dance of being, into the dance of I/Thou
You, into the holy of holiest instant, simply
Breathe and exit the vehicle of time and its travails, the hundred thousand million billion stories.
They are all yours. So be them.

Rosa - Thank you for your kind words. I have trouble with formatting on gather, due to my browser, or who knows what. I'm really glad you find it inspirational enough that you plan to post on the fridge. That means a lot. Btw, the photo is one taken of my grandson who visited us in Alaska this past summer. He's soon to turn 18 years old.
Excellent excellent and so crisp, like a virgin forest blanketed in thick snow one is about to enter on snowshoes. The adventure is endless, thrilling and very inwards while at the same moment absolutely grounded in the resplendent beauty of the now.
Thank you so much for writing this.
Ann - Perhaps, when not "caught in the moment" - I, the writer, experience this narrator's wisdom. But I would not say "very" lol! I have experienced grace - great grace.
I slip through the hour-glass,
breathe ethereal sand,
to land unseen, yet tasted
deeply in the interstices
of consciousness.
Will I meet you there?
A long-lost hope,
inspiring melody
synergizing anthem of camaraderie?
Welcome me to this place
beyond secrets and stars.
