Now

On attention, contact, and what’s already here

By Flower InBloomPublished about 9 hours ago 1 min read
Nothing is missing here.

Now

Now is not a moment.

It doesn’t arrive or leave.

It doesn’t pass.

Now is what’s here

before I decide what it means.

Before memory reaches back.

Before hope leans forward.

Before the body braces.

It’s the breath

already happening.

The sensation

already honest.

I don’t enter now.

I notice I never left.

Nothing to grasp.

Nothing to solve.

Just this—

awake

without needing to be certain.

Author’s Note:

This piece came from noticing how often we search for clarity while standing inside it. “Now” isn’t something to reach—it’s something we return to, again and again, without force.

About the Creator

Flower InBloom

I write from lived truth, where healing meets awareness and spirituality stays grounded in real life. These words are an offering, not instruction — a mirror for those returning to themselves.
