Yesterday today was tomorrow.
By tomorrow today will be yesterday.
In not so long, today will be a distant memory
And yet the day on which it becomes a distant memory still now has yet to come.
We live in the fluidity of time
And yet always and forever
In the present moment,
the now.
Now we live within the
Stream of time
But soon enough
Only in the
Now of
Eternity.
We look forward to the past and back to the future.
We look forward to
His Coming that
Has already come
And we look back to see
His coming that
Has not yet come. And yet, in all of this He is and He Is come here and now.
We look to His Comings
That
In fact
Are One Coming?
It makes “No sense”,
So I will take
Time day by day
I will sit quietly within time and yet within Eternity
In the stillness and silence
I will await His
Coming,
His coming that has already come,
His coming that has yet to come,
His coming that is Come
Here and now
I will allow the Mystery that Is
Himself to
Come
Be present to me and within me in the gift of the Present
Moment and I too will be present.
Rejoicing in His Coming.
Amen!
