Sometimes I forget what’s important in life
kept busy thinking about next week, last week,
last year, or the week after next, kept occupied
recalling a moment gone or planning a moment                                                                    still to come. Sometimes I forget the essence                                                                      of life exists only in this moment. My breath                                                              brings me back to a single heartbeat, the space                                                                    between thoughts where my essence rests                                                                            at peace with itself.
