The Here And Now (Personal Writings) Poem by Ray Lucero

The Here And Now (Personal Writings)



A dear friend expressed concern about her role in the world, below is an excerpt from my response:


'I know what you mean about wanting to know the 'Big picture', so we can relax and enjoy life. I suppose that it's not that easy. All we really have is the moment, as the past is gone and the future's not here yet. The trick to all this is to enjoy any given moment, no matter what one is doing...not an easy task in the hubbub of the crazy world we live in.

What I know in my soul is that great change is upon us. The outer world is berserk and chaotic...our inner world may or may not reflect this, depending on how we choose to be. Think of yourself as the eye of the hurricane. High winds circle around you, yet you remain calm and centered.

Be at peace, for as you well know...God resides within you Beloved.'

Thank you, Ray, for your personal sharing. As well, Thank you, Ben, for bringing me full circle as my day ends with your words of wisdom, good night gentlemen. You are both 10's!

Your message sounds so comforting and spurns one's thinking of this existence in which we were cast and now must weather.Yesterday I read about the woman who remembered everything since she was 14 years of age. Not a blessing at all, since she could not control her memories at all, but she affirmed that one needs to realize that life needs a past (memories) to recall to be meaningful and a future for which to live. So much more, of course, could be said. God is within us and everywhere else too. How to explain?
