Bless this moment

  when you are in distress,  

feeling unsatisfied angry or hurt

make another choice

bless this moment

when your thoughts live their own lives

carrying you away from yourself  

and you don't feel anything

  bless this moment

listen in gratitude to everything

  in this blessed moment

listen to your body

all its sensations

listen to your old thoughts and let them pass

listen to all the sounds around you  

the birds, the wind in the trees

a car passing by

bless this moment in your life

as being a perfect moment

being alive with no past and no future

everything you ever needed

exists in this blessed moment

slowing down, slowing down

paying attention to only this moment

everything that has ever been

 and that will ever be

exists in this blessed moment
