The Miracle of the Moment

 

Hokitika Gorge

 From John Dew's FB:

"Not even a heartbeat away from me,
You, the One who is always now, always here.
It is I who stray in thought,word, and deed.
It is I who miss the miracle of the moment.
It is I whose rhythm disregards the heartbeat
Of your steady, reassuring presence.
Each day, to renew mindfulness of you.
Each night, to deliberately turn toward you.
To you, the One Who is Always Now,
Whose love forever beckons me to be attentive."
