I AM

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 LIVE 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 THE MOMENT,
IT IS NOT HARD.
I AM HERE. MY NAME IS I AM.”
