The time being is being in time right now - here - this moment this breath, this smile, this piece of stone We all know that. It's what the sages say. but it's gathering the energy to stay this way that is so hard. like a great wave crashing over us and sweeping away back out to sea we're back to long ago or thinking about the next big wave or what's below. But see - even while we wait we're soaked in the ocean of time of being the waves are only brief images like a shimmering mirage in the desert heat or a single heart beat yes the desert is time - not the mirage and the heart is time - not the heart beat and the ocean is time - not the wave Be mindful of that - and be at peace You're always here: this moment, this breath, this stone, this dawn.
