I listened to what you said
about coming from "nowhere"
into the "now here",
knowing that some day  
I shall return to the nowhere again...

reminding me to live for the now
and leave the past behind~~

Dear Maureen, I love your intentions! This is well said and wise. Some past events can be so heavy on our shoulders and within our hearts and block out what we are offered in the now.

Love,
Margherita

I loved the way you seperated the nowhere and now here.  Wonderful insight on our language and it's versatility.

A joy to read, Maureen.
"Nowist" may become a new buzz word.

Sometimes, leaving the past behind is hard to do.

You have the right Idea Maureen, always look forward, never look back if it hurts.
A big warm hug my dear.

Exactly! Why carry the burdens of the past or borrow problems from the future. Zen is being in the now.

"coming from "nowhere"
into the "now here",

Thanks everyone~~ I had overheard the comparison the other day and thought  "yes, that is the way to think so that the negative thoughts stay out of your head!
