Now


It is not going to start tomorrow.
It is happening now – life.
When the girls used to talk about a knight in shining armor
and you rolled your eyes?
Well.
This is how you are treating your LIFE – 
as though something will fall 
from the heavens
to whisk it all into shape.
Some magical elixir will dust off
all of your shelved dreams,
plump them into shape,
and then gently push them out into the world
like soft little schoolchildren.
It is happening now.
The sun is shining and the earth is spinning.
Everything
that you think is stopping you
will transform
into more obstacles tomorrow.
There will always be inconveniences – children, dinners, deadlines, bills.
Walk through them all
like mist
or rain
and
like a postal deliverer,
DELIVER.
