The moment … right now. What is there to say about it?

I could evaluate it on a scale of good/bad, better/worse, up/down. I could compare it to previous moments. I could yearn for future moments.

Or … perhaps this moment is perfect because it’s exactly how it is.

I just finished meditating. I have a long history of sitting quietly and letting life open me. I know all about “a good sit” and “a bad sit”. I sense that it’s time to let that go.

I choose to embrace whatever happens. Here are some possibilities, all of which showed up in the last hour:

1. The mind quietens.

2. The flow of energy behind the eyes ceases. All is still.

3. I nod off several times, on the edge of sleep.

4. Thoughts crowd in for awhile.

5. Saliva grows in my mouth and leaks out.

6. I hear the noise of someone walking up the stairs in my apartment building.

7. The shoulders drop away, the body slumps down into the mystery.

And it’s all included. It’s all exactly what’s here in the moment. It’s all the meditation.

As Nike says, “Just do it”

The fullness of now will reveal itself
