here_and_now Spare Change Here and Now You are alive. I am not here to tell you how you should live. I will not tell you that happiness is a choice, (though I believe it is) or that you should live for the moment. I'm not about to say that you should live life only for yourself, because to do that would shut out all the beauty that is made by those who live for others. I have no promises of joy or life eternal. Infact, I bring only promises of pain. But I also bring laughter and good times. Why you say would you choose a savior who offers no perfection and who garuntees no safety? Because THIS is real. Theses moments that you have here on this small spinning orb are all that I can promise you. Not that they will be great (for often life is hard) not that they will be sad (for often life is heaven). All I can promise is that here and now you are alive. No garuntees. No rebates. No Manual. There isn't even a seat belt. None of this means you aren't allowed to make mistakes, for mistakes are an indulgence allowed us all, but second chances are often a myth. So if you don't get it right the first time, lose with grace. For the infinite grace and beauty of your soul is really all you can claim as your own. Here and Now You are alive. 040505 ... hsg I remember to accept peace. 090225 ... jane be_here_now 090225 ... hsg i_am_that_i_am 090226 ... thieums Here and now Nothing happens Or so we think But here and now Everything changes at every instant Is anything real? 101202 what's it to you? who go blather from
