I was regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

“My name is, I Am.”

He paused.

I waited.

He continued,

“When you live in the past with it’s mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not, I Was.

When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not, I Will Be.

When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is, I Am.”
