Now,
right now,
at this very moment,
as my eyes take in those words
and they bypass my brain
to move straight to my heart,
I understand –
for that is where the
Kingdom
lives and breathes and grows.
Now,
right now,
just for this moment,
I understand.
Now,
right now,
I pray to be present
for that recognition
in every future
Right Now.

*Luke 17:21b (NIV)
