Carlos Castaneda is instructed by Don Juan Matus to observe death as ever present and pending in order to drop so much self-importance, allowing more awareness in the present moment © 2009-2010 Benjamin Dean

open up to yourself in this present moment by looking nowhere else no subject no object just taking in the whole all in one eternal moment in this now and forever right in this instance © 2009-2010 Benjamin Dean

this poem is a mindfulness poem but only if you are really here only if you are really attentive only if you are paying attention to all that this poem is offering not what is going to happen tomorrow or what happened in the distant past this is all we have this here now THIS like a toddler holding up a toy to show Mommy making a noise until Mom acknowledges that it is what it is this is that same poem © 2009-2010 Benjamin Dean
