Time

Time is a matter of choice.  How we spend our time is what shapes our lives, and it's what moves us down our life path.  Feeling like I don't have time pushes me to be clear about my focus of activity or inactivity during stretches when I do have time--my own time.  
Another side of time is waiting until the time is right.  Many ideas present themselves, but I know from experience that only a few ideas come forward to be acted upon.  Even these few ideas possess a strong sense of right timing.  I will take joyful action when the time is right.
Present moments help me make my choices about my time and my actions.
"It could happen any time, tornado, 
earthquake, Armageddon.  It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could, you know.  That's why we wake
and look out--no guarantees
in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning, 
like right now, like noon,
like evening."
