This Very Second

This very second, I dare you to live in this moment.
Think not of tomorrow or the next move you'll make.
This - right now - matters.
Take a deep breath, look around - be still and take it all in.
The future doesn't exist yet and the past is at our feet.
Appreciate that you are here - ever present - right this minute.
Don't ignore this sudden but brief wrinkle in time.
It's precious and fleeting, though it may feel insignificant - it's truly far from.
Don't make it a rare occasion to slow down and just be.
Don't wish it away and rush what is happening.
You're alive and living - seize it - savour it.
Things will steal your thoughts, your time, your attention - but before that happens...
I dare you to cherish this very second before it passes you by.
