Love the image and your interpretation of it, Debbie. Time is NOW indeed! The past only serves to direct us from NOW, the continuum that we live in, to the future - like an arrow. But our trajectory of flight is always NOW! :)) xx I know that EST is -5hrs to my GMT and it's extraordinary how the two marry up in experiential practice, like for like. Time is but a figment of our imagination and an arbitrary measure of experience. Love this! xx

Wow, quite a calvalcade of emotion as I read your poem..I love Jude's acronym of NOW, nourishing our wits, perfect description of what your poem does to your reader!

Peace, love and light,
Amber

I feel like I've just been made to jump through a loop... er, uh, I mean hoop... reminds me of an old REM song called "Man in the Moon" ... the line "Mott the Hoople and the Game of Life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..." a few more loops and this hole I'm digging for my credibility will swallow me up as sure as I love fruit loops! Now where was I? Oh yes, back there where you sit writing this poem. Thanks for including me in your creative process. Very creative of you to imagine an ideal reader for your ideal poem! I'm looking for the bookmark feature right after I get out of this endless loop your poem seems to have created... needless to say, it's driving me a little loopy. Ah, well.. even we low-flying planes can pull out of a loop-dee-loop if we over-correct strenuously enough... if there are no objections, from those who are reading this NOW, that is. :)

Peace always, and be well.

Thought-provoking and very "grounded" thoughts well-shared, Debby. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Is NOW an acronym for Nourishing Our Wits? Cause that what this poem does ...

Timeless poetry. Always present when read. Cool.

Okay. You've sold me. ~~I am enraptured by the being and meaning of NOW~~
