Holy

They told me that this or that book is holy
And that this or that man or woman is holy
They tell us that
But I think the moment is the only
The only thing that’s holy

Because the past can never be real again
And the future isn’t real until it becomes the present
The moment
Is the only thing that naturally exists

A holy man
Or a holy text
Or a holy thing
Those are just stories we invented
They are not part of the natural world

What is naturally here, in this moment
Here and now
That is the only thing that is objectively real

If we learn to respect the moment as holy
Because it will never come again
Then we live more fully

That is my connection to the divine

I want nothing else
I need nothing else

The moment is the only
The only thing that’s holy
