R i g h t h e r e … R i g h t n o w
Close your eyes and whisper it slowly in your mind
Join the words with two long and cleansing breaths
Exhaling more slowly than ever before
Whisper it again
And slower, yes, slower still
R i g h t H e r e …………. R i g h t N o w
It’s really all we’ve got
Why we’re so attracted to the hecticity of the world
is anyone’s guess
Oh, I know, you won’t find the word hecticity in Webster’s book
Yet, anyone with children or deadlines knows it should be there
It’s that state of constant motion that pushes us like an electric current
until finally talking on the cell phone while driving is just too much
We were wired to be
R i g h t H e re ……….. R i g h t N o w
Not flitting around the future and the past like a bumble bee from bush to bush
Not racing round like the rabbit from yard to yard
So when hecticity envelops you and you’re racing to and fro
Just take two long and cleansing breaths
And whisper in your mind
Who knows, you might enjoy two more of those deep, relaxing breaths
Realizing that what’s important is just
R i g h t H e re ……… R i g h t N o w
