...is being here, now.
If you see me, would you remind me of my good fortune at being born here and now, in this time and place and not some other? And please help me to appreciate my experiences, as well as all those things unique within my manifestation of human being. It’s so easy for me to drift away into the hollow longing for another time and place. But the real gift within my soul is the presence to be here now.
