LIVING IN THE PRESENT
I WAS REGRETTING THE PAST AND FEARING THE FUTURE.
SUDDENLY MY TEACHER WAS SPEAKING:
“MY NAME IS I AM.” HE PAUSED, I WAITED.
HE CONTINUED, “WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE PAST
WITH ITS MISTAKES AND REGRETS,
IT’S HARD. I AM NOT THERE.
MY NAME IS NOT I WAS.
WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE FUTURE
WITH ITS PROBLEMS AND FEARS, IT’S HARD.
I AM NOT THERE. MY NAME IS NOT I WILL BE.
WHEN YOU LIVE IN THIS MOMENT,
IT IS NOT HARD. I AM HERE.
MY NAME IS I AM.”
