                 Nowism

Walk beyond the careworn limits
   of the fallen day.
Bathe in the pale-soft moonlight
   steaming ...
through an unbounded wilderness
of deep mountain-forest serenity.
Be as a gliding leaf on clear water
in this capricious summer evening
   wind;
leave not a trace of your passing.
Drink of the free, relentless beauty
of Nature's most sublime and precious
   now.

Gosh, this made me wish to still live on the mountain so much, but I guess living near the creek here and being able to visit it often will have to do. Enjoyed reading you again sir.

I love the now of nature - and how tranquil I feel when I allow myself to just fall into the moment. Beautiful, Bruce.

you've added a dimension to carpe diem that makes one want to seize the day

I haven't been on the site much lately as I
am busy dealing with some health issues but I checked in just in time to find your "nowism." Just what I needed.

Reading and absorbing your beautiful words was like gliding as that leaf on the crystal waters ...

Your eyes and your heart, dear Bruce, behold some extraordinary scenery. Thank you for sharing it with us in such captivating way.

Love,
Margherita
