The Now Listen to the pure and simple wisdom of a summer rain until all clouds abate, (emotions settling like the evening mist) then follow the wayward moon through a shining-forest world, to where a thousand paths intersect, passing nowhere... Master the art of being still, and of simply ‘being’ fully in the now. --- b. e. adams (7/25/08) [This message has been edited by secondhanddreampoet (07-25-2008 06:59 PM).] |

"to where a thousand paths intersect, passing nowhere..." That's a good place to sit and be 'still.' |

Yo Bruce, Here in the city, it's always "now". It's just not quiet, and mooney. Nice work. Bobby |

"Master the art of being still, and of simply ‘being’ fully in the now." ~ And being in the "now" that you have so wondrously depicted, is a "now" that I would like to have 'write' now! lol Gosh, yer good! Warm hug and a smile, Linda |

Ahh, Bruce . . . inhaling deeply, this is my kind of now. If it wasn't for this kind of now, I wouldn't be who I am (an owl) and where I am (in my indigenous forest) and with the blazing lifelong health that I cannot comprehend, or the age I am (62). I love your poem. I think this is now finally my favourite of yours. - Owl |

Bruce, you captured the beauty of nature. I love being still and just feeling the natural world that we so often (too often) take for granted. Alison |

Breathing in the now and in the stillness you conjured up here, very beautifully so, as always, dear Bruce. Love, Margherita |
