“When you live in the past

With its mistakes and regrets,

It is hard.  I am not there.

My name is not I WAS.

 

“When you live in the future,

With its problems and fears,

It is hard.  I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

 

“When you live in this moment,

It is not hard. I am here.

My name is I AM.”

 

I Am by Helen Mallicoat

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.
