Dear friend:- You're here finally and I bow to the one that brought you here. You're here because you chose to be here at this time. You're here to celebrate beauty through words we speak, through deep silence. We might call them poetry or songs or chants. It does not matter what we call them. What matters most is you're here. These words come through us like flowers come through plants, like the rains pour from the sky. May we all become the light we spread, the beauty we speak. Blessings.

NOW
"Someone asked a question
On NOW -
What is this now?
Even before we finish saying the word,
It is no longer now. It is gone.
What is it dear friend?
NOW is not gone.
It is not gone because it did not
Come from somewhere,
It is not like waterfall
that starts somewhere
and ends somewhere –
Now is not time.
It is your breath –
It is life itself.
It does not move,
It is still.
It is everywhere
And in everything
so you cannot
walk away
from it.
you cannot avoid it.
you cannot hold onto it
because it has no handle
it has no color.
It has no gender
It has no inside or
Outside.
It has no sound.
thought cannot
touch it.
it does not happen
inside a particular
time period.
It is the song
Of eternity.
When you
Approach time
With the mind
It breezes back
Into time.
It can turn into
days and nights
and years and thousands
of years.
It becomes past
And future.
It is not NOW
Anymore.
It is hidden
Behind thought.
It did go somewhere.
It is always here.
Even always does not
Apply here.
The eternal now
Is here eternally
For it has no age.
Ageless and
Timeless now."
