Here or there

Photo: HERE OR tHERE
By Judith Froemming

"There is the past.
There were mistakes made,
there were relationships derailed,
there were rejections,
there were slights and oversights.
There is not here.

There is the future.
there are bills to pay, 
there is work to do,
there are changes to make,
there are dreams to manifest,
There is not here.

The first letter of there is a cross.
when I am not here,
I am on the cross of there.
When I am on the cross of there,
I am here,
suffering.

I choose to end my suffering,
I choose to consciously be here.
Mindfully present breath 
draws me here, 
now.

When my mind is not there,
suffering, 
I am powerfully here,
now."
