What would you do if time didn't matter?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 30, 2008:

THE BUCKET LIST


Time they say,
is the robber of youth,
the stuff
life is made of.

No it isn't.
Time is a mental
construct,
there is no Wednesday
you can point at,
no Saturday you can
lift and show
to others.

There is only now,
so regretting
the past
and worrying about
the future,
means

we are not anywhere.

We only have the now,
so I ask,
Am I here completely?

Or am I attaching labels
and meaning to things
and reliving and
fretting
and not existing
in the velvet explosion of
now with all it's fullness
of sights and sounds
and emotions, and thoughts,
which change constantly?

More time?
That is not
the problem.
What I need I can
only give myself,
and that is
more awareness of the now.

Then my bucket
will be full.
