Found in the Moment

If you don’t lose yourself — you will find yourself

photo by the author

watching the ocean caress the shore with its tidal breath

found in the moment

I feel as much as see in each passing wave a lingering touch

found in the moment

the breath of my body recognizes its own in the ebb and flow

found in the moment

I sense as much as know between each breath a sacred pause

found in the moment

a pause

in the spaces between words a pause — find meaning

in the spaces between what is known a pause — find meaning

in the spaces between dreams a pause — find meaning

in the spaces between being apart a pause — find meaning

found in the moment

I was always fascinated by the English expression “losing yourself.” What does it mean to lose yourself in nature, in beauty, in the moment? Perhaps we do not really lose ourselves but rather our attachments and distractions from truly living. And then something miraculous happens, we find ourselves, find life, and find meaning.
