I find Wendell Berry’s poetry speaks to me about being mindful and attentive in each moment I live. It calls me to be present and explore the mystery in each moment, knowing each moment carries me like a river flowing without knowing where it is going.
The etymology of anarchy suggests we continuously begin anew in each moment. It is not a free-for-all with no rules. Instead, the universe provides us with the rules of what it means to live in that moment. In being present, I come to understand each moment is a re-beginning that is forever unfolding.
Taking the time to be present, allows me to be still even when the world and others are in haste.
How quietly I
begin again
from this moment
looking at the
clock, I start over
so much time has
passed, and is equaled
by whatever
split-second is present
from this
moment this moment
is the first

nice intro
to Mr. Berry’s
poetic moment 🙂
He has a way with poetry.
Love this, learning to live in the moment . . .
It is hard work, but worthwhile.
Mindfulness seems to simple, to easy to have this enormous power.
It is simple but far, far from easy to practice moment to moment.
Why do so few practice everyday?
It is free and travels with us, in fact present moment awareness grants us the greatest power we possess.
It takes continuous practice and realizing one is always falling short.
I will always love Berry.
