If I’m not seeking meaning in some future state or the past, 

if my joys are not from my fantasies and the possibilities, 

Where do I find meaning if such a thing exists?

Where do I create one?

Perhaps in nature around me, in beauty 

and the little choices of the day, in stretching just a little

towards the future while immersing in the present. 

The more alive I am in the now, the slower time passes. 

Trust the timing of your life.
