Purpose Revealed

Purpose revealed: 

it's my purpose revealed -  and it's just this, whatever's occurring now, that I meant to do only and exactly what this instant calls for, and nothing more is ever asked of me until another moment comes to be. This is my true vision, not to see further to the future but more clearly the present moment that's been given. It's all mystery, with little revealed aside from now. With this, my purpose than...

is to simply be. 

it's a relief to finally come to this realization, to surrender my struggle for a certain sense of reason, as if belonging to some greater point than just this moment could ever bring me peace of mind. This doesn't deny any planning for tomorrow, nor imply that I am past the point of any worry - but that everything occurs now, both plan and concern take place only in the present moment. What is surrendered is the illusion of being driven towards anything that is forever beyond my grasp, letting go of any vague sense that there is more to be accomplished than I am given right now. My purpose is revealed to me by the very next word that's written, it's shown in the pause where words begin to gather, and then again as this writing is continued. It's never more than this, only something other, different - my next sip of coffee is equal in purpose as any following word, and only my judgement tells me otherwise. 

What I am meant to do, truly so, is the easy task of breath, drawing and releasing air, heart beating its intent, every function of cells performing on their own - my purpose is revealed as life, magnificent in expression, beautiful in its grace and form, and nothing more is ever asked of me than this, only this, just the exquisite loveliness of simply being.
