it's not other, this is exactly and only what the moment holds until a shift in its inclusion. We have no alternative to now, our wishes and demands for things to be different are but content for this moment and only serve as filler. This isn't a mindful call, urging attention to details of the present - it's a note to remind that this present moment is all we have, nothing is, nor can be excluded, and we are left here with all that it entails until life itself delivers something other. This is it. In this knowing we relax, our demands lessened, reality accepted even as we sometimes desire another, more pleasing, version of the moment. It's not about pushing such thoughts away - everything now belongs, and now is all we ever have.
