Present
"Wherever you are, be all there"
"Grow where you are planted"
Being present.
Good words; sage advice
but how do you live it out
when 'wherever you are' and 'where you are planted'
is constantly changing?
Present in the moments
the fight against distraction
the battle to prioritize the right things
to focus long and deep...
How do these things translate into the larger picture
of a life lived on the move?
When interest in people around is hemmed by such thoughts :
"We're not likely here long"
"Perhaps they're only here on holiday"
"They're so busy"
And often these thoughts are true?
Your words are so poetic. I love that we both chose the same meaning of "present" to write about.
