in the present moment i love you

how could i be angry with you?
anger requires expectations that you be different than who you are...
anger necessitates living in the past-which is just an amorphous dream

how could i be hopeful?
hope requires expectations that things be different than what they are..
hope necessitates living in the future--which is just an amorphous dream

in the present moment...all i can do
is listen to my heart stumbling
speaking, "i love you"
