What if every word you uttered, was ... Just ... Wow!
What if every sound you heard, was ... Just ... Wow!
What if every sight, smell, taste, touch,
and most importantly, every thought, was Just ... Wow!
What a wonderful prayer, or gift,
or blessing, or even eulogy. Just ... Wow!
What a motivational sermon
or speech or wedding toast
or commencement address or pep talk
or even therapy session. Just ... Wow!
What poetry or prose or symphony
or aria or jazz riff or jam session. Just ... Wow!
What a way to start each day or end each day
and to simply live each and every moment
in the timeless Now. Just ... Wow!
What if waking up to Life ...
that eternal flux and flow ...
was really that simple. Just ... Wow!
What if all of our personal histories,
our tightly held opinions,
our indoctrinated beliefs,
our black and white thinking,
are nothing but concepts.
None of it real, nor Reality. Just ... Wow!
Tonight the stars await your presence.
Tomorrow the sunrise will help you see
Reality as it is.
In all its simplicity.
With all its awe. Just ... Wow!
Like the wave that does not die upon the shore.
Nor is it born from the depths of the sea.
The world is simply waving, waving, always waving.
Look closely, deeply, calmly ... so is Thee, so is Thee Just ... Wow!
And in the spirit of Saint Jon of the Daily Show ... Here is Your Moment of Zen, er, Wow:
