The Best There Is

This right here is already, and has always been,

the very best we can be.
As is.
We can't be more than we are.
We can't do more than we can.
Luckily, existence doesn't, and hasn't ever,

needed a thing more from us.
Couch or boardroom - this is it.
Our best, fullest potential to be, to live, to exist

- right here, already.
Not later, Now.
We might enjoy it.
Because this simply is
the best
there is.
