I’m going to like the future, with its flying cars

it was a masterful event
the moment I woke up and realized
life would never be the same again.

the moment I woke up and smelled the air
like I would finally smell it for the rest of time.
the look of my closet and what future items
would find their resting place there.
the look of my kitchen and what future meals
would find their aromas swirling above pots there.

it was a masterful event
the moment I woke up and realized
this didn’t have to be as complicated or as complex
as I had imagined.

the moment I woke up and looked around
and felt no heartbreak for being simply here.
and felt the joys of simply existing in a place
of safety and compassion and wonder and exploration.
and felt the peace and knowledge and wisdom of
knowing that now is the time to simply be and be known.

it was a masterful event
the moment I woke up and realized
the world was simply turning in the same direction
it always has.

the moment I woke up and noticed
that life was to be as life was meant to be.
that life was to be as blessed as I would put up with.
that life was to be as full and warm and enjoyable
as I would stomach.

it was a masterful event
the moment I woke up and realized
I was truly alive in my life.

and when I wake up that moment
the clarity I will breath and see and speak and know
and feel and touch and hear and think
will be awesome.
