What Now?

Now that the acceptance of What Is has infused my soul, I am tempted to ask a plaintive question: "What now?"

What Now? Now, that’s what. Just Now.

All possible meanings, significance, relationships and values are embedded here, in the irreducible Now.

Today’s pre-dawn dog-walking insight was that my life has begun to resemble one long Vipassana meditation. Events, both inside and out, flow by impaled on the arrow of time. I regard them with impartial curiosity. Events, thoughts and feelings appear, linger a moment, then disappear. Others immediately take their place.

The dogs may bark but the caravan moves on.
