Here
within
this moment,
pause, suspended
between once upon
and come what may,
midway there
from here
to
now
let go
be present
breathe in, breathe out
practice mindfulness
eternity
in theory
is not
when.

I have only written a few lines (so far) for this challenge, but the first that came to mind is: Eternal entirety’s longest bridge. I feel a theme. Love what you did with it.

Too many people put off ‘eternity’ until ‘after’, don’t they?

I was certain I gave this a Like when I read it a week ago, but it’s been a hectic week for me. I’m glad I came back to it, because it’s beautiful. I’ve had thoughts of ‘Now” and “The Moment” in my mind for a couple of months, and this fits perfectly.
