Be here now.
Be here in this place.
Be here in this precious time.
Be here with this particular company.
Let us for a moment forget where we have to be
And when we must be there.
Let us for a time invest all our energy in here and now.
There is a time to be somewhere else
And with some other company
And for some other reason.
For this moment, be here now.
Focus on the moment before it flits away,
Pay attention to this treasured instant of time
Before it is gone.
These times of here and now are really all we have;
This is the pattern of our lives - these successive instants of being.
Celebrate these intervals of time we call now
And cherish these places of being we call here.
Contemplate the here and now - here and now.
It seems so simple, but it is so hard,
We are so distracted by then and there.
It is so tempting to live somewhere else,
To think of some other time.
Be here now, and be glad.
