Transcending Time ~ Part II

In my previous Post, Transcending Time, I explore the concept of Time — in the most basic, Quantum sense — and our relationship to it.

Since posting it, I find myself asking, at any given moment, How is my NOW?

Just by doing that, it seems to bring me back into a better sense of balance and well-being.

Here’s the recent poem I wrote in my Journal.

Leaning Tree

Expanding NOW

How is my Now?
    I hear myself say,
How is my Present
    Moment?

Have I found the lilt
    I’m looking for?
Opened my Heart
    To CALM . . .

Have I connected with
    Love and The Great
Divine . . . Set worries and
    Pressures aside?

For I can EXPAND
    This very MOMENT,
This very NOW . . . for
    The rest of the day!

I can let in the LIGHT —
    Like a singer finding
Her perfect pitch —
    A pilot finessing the

Aircraft’s trim. Like a
    Harpist tuning the
Strings of her harp so
    Pleasant rifts can flow . . .

How is my Now?
    I hear myself say,
How is my Present Moment?
    Outside of time?

Yes! Yes! Yes!
  What is my current
Cosmic status?
  . . . EXPANDED . . .

Peaceful. Calm.
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
Where is my heart?
    Open. Connected.

Then keep it that way,
    I hear myself say,
All through the day — 
    Yes! Yes! Yes! ~ Amen ~

As my harpist daughter, EllaHarp says, “This IS our life! All of our lives are happening — right now — there’s no do-overs!”

I agree!

    Where is my NOW…?

    My Now is a tapestry of memories immortalized in my soul.

    My Now is pain and tired eyes, fire in my legs, fire in my left testicle from a botched operation…

    As I sit on the couch and contemplate your words of present beauty, I long for that calmness and peace you find in Now.

    Alas my mind is a turmoil of mental afflictions that bear weight on the presence of Now.

    Hiking my dogs through Windwolves preserve an early wet morning I find my Now in dew-drops sparkling like a thousand diamonds from dripping branches.

    Hugging the bark of a tree my arms stretched around it. Smelling the history and mystery of life. My Now expands and closes as I kiss the tree goodbye.

    But where is the Now for those who suffer in torment, bathed in hot metal searing their limbs?

    How can I expand my Now in these conditions of cruel Humanity?

      Oh Graham, how bittersweet. May I recommend a book (and blog) by Dr. David Hanscom MD, called “Back in Control”. I heard him interviewed a few years back and bought the book, which dovetails with my metaphysical upbringing from a medical standpoint. Check out his blog — https://backincontrol.com/stress-kills-dont-allow-it/ — and hopefully it will help you find a route to alleviate your sufferings! Best to you!!!! Dawn
