Good reminder of what Ram Dass introduced me to many years ago.

Seems I āleakā and forgetā¦so the frequent reminders (like yours and Emilyās) I get are a sign that āmy mercies are new every morningā¦ā

P.S. Your mention of Emily surfaced two of my male Muses – Paul & Art and these words from āDangling Conversationāā¦
āYou read your Emily Dickinson and I my Robert Frostā
So I went looking for what Robert might have said about ānowā or the āpresent momentā and was rewarded with these reflections on ācarpe diemāā¦they are gonna find a place in a draft I have on impermanence.
