Whatever happened, happened. And it’s over.
Whatever happened then is gone. The now,
This moment, now is what you have today.
The now, this moment, now, is all you have.
You may imagine that you have tomorrow.
You may hold onto troubles from the past.
You may believe that love can conquer all.
You may believe that hope will solve all problems.
Believe what you wish. Cling to the faith of your fathers.
Feel what you feel. Honor the ways of your mother.
Be who you are, do what you do, remembering
The only moment you really have is now.
