Original Language English	why fear this moment
Commentary by Ivan M. Granger Themes   Lover and Beloved   Silence	why fear this moment when no thoughts come at last I lie naked in the arms of experience why fear this moment when no words come at last I find rest in the lap of silence why fear this moment when love finds itself alone at last I am embraced by infinity itself why fear this moment when judgment falls away at last my defenses fail to keep intimacy at bay why fear this moment when hope is lost at last my foolish dreams are surrendered to perfection -- from the Gifts with No Giver: a love affair with truth, by Nirmala

Commentary by Ivan M. Granger

A beautiful poem of presence. Enough adventures attempting to escape from "this moment." Why fear it? It is our treasure; it is all we possess. Time is not filled with days and years. There is always only this moment, and nothing else.
