Being-Time

When I think of “time”

Do I really get what it means?

Dragging, flying past.

Experience time

Is to experience life

It is being-time.

Nowhere else to be

Nothing’s wrong, nothing to chase

No-one else to be.

Why the urgency

To have, do, grasp, push away?

Nothing to (dis)like.

Realisation

Is right here in my practice

In the way I am.

With thanks to Dōgen, Shinshu Roberts, Atulyamati and my wonderful book group for helping me get a slight glimpse into the meaning of being-time.
