How to Live in Joy

Day 19: Learning the power of the present moment’s joy

This piece is Day 19 of a 30 day series on how to live in joy at home during lockdown. I am here in the state of Oregon and although some things are opening up, many things are still closed, and we are working hard to keep everyone safe by staying home as much as possible. This has been a great exercise in finding out the little joys of life at home.

Today’s piece is a poem about how through this lockdown period I have grown to know that now is all there is. I am so grateful to the universe, to life, and to God for the present moment.

Thank you life for now.

Now is all there is.

Now is possibility.

Now is pure potentiality.

Now is magic

Now is knowing.

Now is a breath of life.

Now I am reaching.

Now I am soaring.

Now I am growing.

Now I am becoming.

Now is the moment.

Now is all there is.

Now I will fly.
