In Search of Now
Where is now?
There is no memory in now.
There is no future in now.
It is not in any place, but it is in nowhere.
It is here and now. It is now here.
Richard Barrett
In Search of What Is
You find what is when thinking stops
It lies beyond memory and it lies beyond hope
It is just as far from what was, as it is from what will be
It is what it is, and it is not what it isn’t
It isn’t what it was, and it isn’t what it will be
It isn’t what it wasn’t, and isn’t what it could be
It is only present when there is nothing else there
Only when you search in the realm of nowhere is it now here
