When is now, exactly?

I’ve always seen the phrase, “live in the moment,” and been a bit perplexed.

How does one do that, exactly?

I’ve always been so future-focused,

excited by possibility, what’s next, what could be.

When the future finally arrives,

it’s often a blip, a distraction from the real business

of figuring out what tomorrow will look like.

I’ve run this software for almost 50 years.

It’s worked pretty well in some ways.

But now, it’s throwing me off.

How can I possibly imagine the future

when each day brings such change?

Perhaps I should revisit that whole live in the moment thing.

I still don’t really get it.

My brain wants no part of it.

And my body is just too tired to care.

But I’ll try it.

I’ve got a mindfulness app that I’m digging into.

I’m enjoying it so far.

And I guess that’s good enough.

For the moment.
