NUNC IS LATIN FOR NOW

 NUNC

 IS LATIN

 FOR NOW

Today

is the first day

of your life;

today

is the last day

of your life;

today is the only day

of your life,

no beginning, no end,

no yesterday, no tomorrow,

nothing but now,

the nuncness of now.

Your life is a gift;

be grateful to the giver,

whom you don’t have to name.

It’s your life—

unshackled, free,

no rules, no laws,

except the ones

that you create

or freely accept.

Your life,

so live it to the full

in ease and balance;

your life,

so live it to the full

in light and laughter. 

Should you find these words

so much silliness,

then sit back

and have a good laugh

on me.
