I was thinking about mindfulness as I chose my images. The pictorial images are all close ups of the inside of the heart. I layered them in order of how close up they were, which affects the texture of each image. I still have the inverse of the 'NOW' letters which is going in my collage bank.

The 'NOW' is not strongly contrasted from its background on purpose. The present moment blends into past and future. It also reflects how mindfulness practice can be subtle. It's obvious when you see how simple mindfulness is, but before you experience it for yourself, it seems invisible and out of reach. As you practice focusing on the Now, it becomes clearer.

I cut out a lot more words thinking I might make a poem but I found that too many words crowded the overall image and the 'NOW' lost its impact.
