Stop trying to be somewhere else
This is where and when you are
Experiences from the past blend into an unknown and new place
Reality is remade at every moment
Nothing can be said for the future
But the expectations of it (that you cannot help but create) reach back into this present
A way for our finite minds to make sense of an infinitely detailed and unknowable slice in time
I mix experience with prediction and tell myself that I know where I am
An insect on a leaf in a surging river, seeing the familiar folds and surfaces, and hoping that where it ends there is another leaf, like there always was on the forest floor it knew
The past and future aren’t here and I cannot even know this moment in full
Every detail l choose to focus on expands into new worlds
My leaf will be pulled under very soon
How lucky to have had a leaf
