Already Your Betterest!

Could your infinite, eternal being ever be improved?

Whenever it is suggested that

Your self-improvement

Will be aided by the cultivation

Of some quality

Like appreciation, gratitude,

Or what have you,

See if you can recognize

That what’s being suggested

Is that you just as you are

HERE and NOW –

The only time and place

You can ever be in –

Reside at a distance

From your happiness,

Or from your better self.

See what happens instead

When your only “practice”

Becomes the gentle

Aiming of your attention

Toward the source of that attention . . .

Toward HERE and NOW . . .

Toward ever-present,

Infinitely aware, being itself . . .

Which is forever whole and complete

And needs no improvement.

The best place you can ever be is HERE and NOW.
The only place you can ever be is HERE and NOW.
There is no Point B!
