Or just sit there dreaming of how life would be
If we were somewhere better
Somewhere far away from all all worries
Well, here we are
well, here we are
You are the love of my life
Be here now, no other place to be
All the doubts that linger, just set them free
And let good things happen
And let the future come into each moment
Like a rising sun
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
Yeah, you know you are
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
And it’s all new today
All we have to say
Is be here now
Be here now, no other place to be
This whole world keeps changing, come change with me
Everything that’s happened, all that’s yet to come
Is here inside this moment, it’s the only one
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
Yeah, you know you are
sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
Sun comes up and we start again
It’s all new today
All we have to say
Is be here now
Listen!
Mason Jennings, Be Here Now…happy….
Unexpected, and fully embraced. I didn’t fall into this with reckless abandon. It began with simple friendship, no agenda, no expectations, no machinations. There is no stress. No drama. Just a simple and sweet fit. Comfort. Freedom. Peace. Communication. Harmony.
Smooth. Like honey.
Maybe this is the beginning of happily ever after. I hope so. Either way, we’re living in the moment (when we have a moment) and for the moment, and the moment is sweet.
I’ve been smiling since the day we met.
…in retrospect…
I have actually already tried to self sabotage this budding relationship. I almost didn’t believe anything could be so simple, so easy, so effortless, so comfortable. I looked for reasons to doubt myself, reasons to doubt him, reasons to doubt the ability to have a relationship at all. My bestie, thank God for her voice of reason, told me to STOP LOOKING FOR REASONS TO FAIL, FOR GOD’S SAKE!! After due diligence, of course. She, along with my sisters and all of my friends who are most dear, will always counsel me to be careful with my heart and keep my eyes open.
I don’t want to throw away the possibility of something beautiful, out of fear over the past and all the various relational paths I’ve traversed. I aim to let hope prevail.
…this man…
He is kind. He is gentle. He is moderate. He is stable. He is thoughtful. He listens. He is communicative. He is helpful. He is fun. He is funny. He is smart. He is hard working. He is steady. He is friendly. He is his children’s hero. He is good at what he does. He is careful with his words. He doesn’t put others down. He doesn’t speak harshly of anyone or anything. He looks for positive and constructive things to say. He says what he means and means what he says. He is dependable. He is reliable. He is calm. He is strong. He is a man of his word. He shows up. He’s where he says he’ll be when he says he’ll be there. He is appreciative. He is humble. He is honest. He is respectful. He is respectable. He is courteous. He is loving. He is thankful. He is good.
…we fit…
We are good together. We are in tune with each other. It’s a beautiful thing. I am grateful for the individual journeys that brought us to the place where our paths intersected, here, now. A lifetime doesn’t seem long enough to do the things that we want to do together. There are so many joys and experiences we want to share.
Let good things happen. Let the future come into each moment like a rising sun.
Be here now.
I love him. He loves me.
We are here, now.
