Meditation

by Don Winslow

No goals, no expectations.
Whatever is, is.
For now – just Be.

No future, no past,
Just the present.
For now – just Be.

Ups, downs,
They don’t exist in this instant of time.
For now – just Be.

Cares and woes?
Don’t worry, they’ll still be there.
For now – just Be.

Wishes are good, Prayers might be better.
But not for now.
For now – just Be.

For one minute, for one hour,
It doesn’t matter.
For now – just Be.

Breathe in, breathe out, focus on the present.
For now, just for now –
Just Be.
