"The serendipity of surprise"

Now is Enough Let them run till they run out of breath They will never outrun death Take this to heart while your heart is beating You who know but have to try The way I knew but had to try when I was now back when now was then I think this is what they mean when they say Time is fleeting and to seize the day But in a universe of now Chasing it seems to make it worse somehow Does it go slower when they go Faster even though they know Nowhere knows no fast nor slow As they hurry to get there anyway? I no longer hurry because I learned the hard way to understand Between what I learned and what I was taught Between what I gave and what I got Between what will be and what was Yesterday's tomorrow and Its image in the mirror as Tomorrow's yesterday This is the day to worry about And less a worry more a doubt Of other days but what I think it means is that I mean I Thought it would be like I thought it should be And was it? It was not However it was it is no more Only the is of now Is what to be and how to be for The real to realize And looking neither back nor ahead Seeing now is how to find What is by being now instead Of going blind before and behind Sometimes a window and sometimes a door Never why but always how The serendipity of surprise Is how as now opens my eyes If they want to chase the future let them Now remembers to forget them Now is eternity Between what was and what will be Now is enough for me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
