What You Already Are Right Now

What do you know about the birdsong, you never listened that closely. What do you remember about the composition of the rocks in the soil? You only remember that you love the land, though sometimes you wonder if you make it up. You wonder why you care so much about it, are you just being dramatic once again.

Now you mess it up, right and left, so you can be totally wrong. But who cares really, who’s left who can you tell you that they know better than you? Why would you listen anymore, nobody knows the way. They can try to tell you, all about the road that they’re on and you can politely listen if you like, but please don’t let them in, nobody understands you better than you.

So you can’t hit that chord, who cares, who’s listening now, who would care? So you can’t control or make yourself be what they made you be, but who cares now? When you see the incredible game the incredible tricks they played on you.

Why would you care for one more day what anyone thinks they think of you? We encourage you not to darling, we encourage you to just be what you right now. Just be what you are right now, right now, right now. What you already are, right now.
