Here and now
+++++++++++++++++++
Here and now you can forgive, laugh, appreciate, enjoy. Life’s goodness is really not so distant or difficult.
From pain to healing, it’s not that far. From conflict to cooperation, you can jump in an instant.
Stop caring so much about proving you were right. What makes life worth living is who you can be, the love you can give.
Here and now is one little slice of time for you to fill with simple goodness. Offer a small kindness, a bit of understanding, a little effort that adds to life’s beauty.
Encourage and you’ll find encouragement. Act in the direction of your highest hopes and bring them steadily into reality.
There’s always space for improvement, and your beneficial actions can fill that space. Here and now, add to the value and meaning of life.
