You me us and everyone

You, me, us, and everyone

We cry, we laugh

We sing, we dance

We scream, we fight

We have feelings 

Of sadness, but we are not our sadness 

Of anger, but we are not that anger

Of thoughts, but we are not those thoughts

This life of emotions and sensations 

It's not about about chasing the money

Or being top of the class

Or aching for something that you may never have

It is more than that and less all at the same time

It's complex and jumbled and grotesque and beautiful 

It's about being

Here

Now

About the feeling of your feet sinking into wet earth 

About your lungs aching from laughing so hard

About the way the sun rises again and again to filter through the trees

About the moon greeting your open eyes quietly 

About stumbling into a corner and the sharp edge jabbing you in the hip

You, me, us, and everyone 

We are here now

This life is here now.
