The Future is Now

-

 "...the gentle rain splattering on the pavements 

and the sun playing hide and seek between the clouds

as an observer, in the stillness of the moment

it dawned to me, at this moment, the future is now..."


Future. It is always about hope. Even the most unlucky, the unloved, the loser, has hope

The reason? Because we do not know what it is, its manifestation in its entirety

we have a hunch if we are instinctive

we have a goal if we are an achiever

and if we are dreamers, we simply dream, embracing the so-called whisps of lightness, nature has bestowed upon us, going with the flow, onwards, in the imagination of the subconscious, fueling our creations through art, trying to paint the reflection of the majesty we have perceived as best as possible...

But if we believe, the future is tomorrow, something that will happen, soon...

 that time will only tell,

 we will only keep on hoping, never to realize what we truly are striving for, if we only look towards the horizon before grounding ourselves in the reality of now, 

without embracing each and every moment of now

without stopping once, when we win or fail now, 

is the future that may or may not come true, worth it?

should we always feel cloud nine when we win and forlorn when we lose?

since when have we been so predictable> imprisoned within the cause and effect, conditioned as of the classics of Pavlov, salivating when the bell rings, over and over, again and again

Perhaps, we should do something different, relax our mind, free our body, and let the soul wander...

For whatever hunch we have, it is always determined by probability 

whatever goal it might be, it will need to change, 

as we change, our goals change, priority shifts, for life is always about change

for whatever dreams might be, until and unless, we can live within it, without physical limitation, without the heaviness of imperfect reality, dreams will just be dreams, untouched and pristine, out of the reach of mortals, such as us

And as mortals, we may need to realize, the truth,

The future is Now. Nowhere will it be as perfect as it is now. Nothing is as momentous, as powerful, as worth living, as now. 

We may be locking our doors, fearful of going on the sunshine with our friends, breath the air without masks, traverse through crowds of humanity, but we have the time, now,

though how minute it might be, if we try to just feel it, that one moment, one mini-second is worth living an eternity

Who am I? The question of existence...

Before assigning a gender given by nature (or changed later) or a name by your parents (biological or otherwise), why not delve deeper for once, and truly ask yourself. " Who am I...?" Here are some inspirations for the inquiry to be as meaningful as intended: Time Time is the witness of history, light-bearer of truth. It is the only power that can give justice to the I,  defining in the entirety of what I was, as I am cannot fully recall even my obscure genealogy including what I will be, my pedigree... "I was..."  A sum of memories of past; success and failures both, of happiness and sadness and boredom in-between, I was once naïve and young yet I remember those times most, for they are unburdened by the questions when time takes all the innocence and the world wants us to take responsibility for ourselves "I am..." Present, fully immersed in the reality of 'now'. I relive my past and can laugh at its foolishness. I make plans for my 'future&

About Love

Strip away all the comforts of civilization and step away from all of its conformities. You will find me contemplating, both physically and mentally exhausted, confused in solitude: “ What is love?” “If there is a heart beating next to yours despite all the vagaries life weights you with, then that lightness of being, the feeling of glad vulnerability is perhaps the closest thing to true love” “To be known for all the right reasons despite being so wrong, is it love?” The world fades away in a blur and I am forgetful of things that are present. Yet, I remember things I should not have forgotten … you see love is the magnet to draw forgotten memories and a powerful catalyst of change in your life. It motivates us to be civilized, and find the middle ground, as it brings the thing called “should/could” into our lives, and we start to feel empathy for the less fortunate and be more forgiving. Being civilized means having the ability to survive and to be able to think for someone whom we

The Quest of Love

  Intro One of my respected instructors informed me of an attitude in which normal everyday events may be perceived as quests. Be it simply an ordinary occasion or a thrilling one, through perceiving it as a quest, we see the world we constantly traverse through, for at the least once, differently, recognize its salient functions and be self-inspired to place plans into action. for example; waking up early, finish off the to-do lists, ta-da! a stealthy kiss good-bye to an irritated partner prior to hurrying to work, etc., etc. Quest; simply means the search for something which is meaningful, but quite tough for the present 'me' or 'us' to achieve. Yet this limitation only exists in our mind. With discipline, followed by consistent willpower, and herculean effort, that supposed difficulty can be chipped away if not in an hour or days or even weeks, then years if it is necessary to do so. "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome" With this in the mind, we put efforts into
