Here And Now

Depending on nothing to be here and now

most of our thinking — other than for practical reasons — can be eliminated if only we could see whether we are truly capable of being in here and now without depending on thoughts

and if we are to really think we could ask: after all which thought is going to bear here and now other than the reality itself does reality need a thought to bear here-and-now?

and if thoughts can’t bear it — perhaps it is the thoughts that weaken our capacity to be here and now — what would bear it?

can any thoughts make up for the unwillingness to be here and now or is thoughts itself the unwillingness?

being here and now cannot be a task it cannot be a heroic effort for it is already the case if not for our constant dependency on thoughts but no thoughts can come and bear here-and-now

we can’t just let thoughts be thoughts and use it for what they are worth using instead, we need to do acceptance or be mindful as if thoughts on acceptance and mindfulness would bear here-and-now experience

perhaps without all the but-and-if-s we are simply here and now as risky as it sounds or are we waiting for a better here-and-now perhaps an improved here-and-now?

question of improvement only arises when I don’t want to bear here and now I don’t even want to see if it’s bearable — the here and now.
