Inspiration
I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:
“My name is I am”
He paused. I waited. He continued,
“when you live in the past
With its mistakes and regrets,
It is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future,
With its problems and fears,
It is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.
When you live in this moment,
It is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.
