I was regretting the past,
and fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:
"MY NAME IS I AM".
He paused.
I waited.
He continued...
"When you lived in the past
with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard.
I am not there.
My name is not 'I WAS'.
When you live in the future,
with its problems and fears, it is hard.
I am not there.
My name is not 'I WILL BE'.
When you live in this moment it is not hard.
I am here.
My name is 'I AM'.
