Right Here by Alicia Trusty

Everything within me wants to be there

Not here

But here is where I am.

Here is where I am

Not out there

Not far off

Not in the future.

And who I want to become does not come by being there.

She comes by being here

Right here.

Right where I don’t want to be

She is born in this moment

She becomes by being here

Fully here

In all of our discomfort and longing

I give her what she needs to flourish by being here.

With her

With me

The medicine is right here

In this moment

In each moment

Here Is where we need to be.

Being Here is how she becomes me
