This Moment


Nourish the Moment--

for it will give you what you need.

After your hands are muddy,

and your back is sore,

let the aftermath fill your spirit

with what is sacred.

 

Thank the Moment,

for its gift of presence

its powerfully sweet pulp

that has sanctified love

into dust,

still scintillating in the air.

Savor this sensation:

it is Success.
