I AM



from The LEVITT LETTER


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 its 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."
