Lost Present
John G. Young, M.D.
A neurosis in part
is a loss of the art
of perceiving the present
perceptively.
The present present
is no stage
where ghosts from the past
go through acts
which last for eternity.
The present is a present,
a gift from the gods.
It is now. It is new. It is free.
And for those who are aware,
it is also a mystery.
