A week ago, we started with three words:
Be Here Now.
And then, naturally, we spent an entire week making those three words considerably more complicated.
😂
We talked about yesterday.
Tomorrow.
Waiting.
Attention.
Memory.
Motion.
Being late.
Being hurt.
All the places the mind goes while the rest of us is standing right here.
And after all that wandering…
here we are.
Maybe that’s the wonderful thing about Now.
You can forget it.
Ignore it.
Rush through it.
Wish it away.
Spend years looking backward and decades looking ahead.
And the moment you notice what you’re doing…
there it is again.
No judgment.
No entrance fee.
No catching up required.
Just:
Here.
I don’t think Ram Dass was giving us a destination.
I think he was reminding us where we already were.
And maybe that’s what I’ll carry from this week.
Not some heroic commitment to live every moment in perfect awareness.
I’ll forget.
I’ll get distracted.
I’ll worry about tomorrow and occasionally argue with something that happened twenty years ago.
I’m human.
But every once in a while, maybe I’ll notice.
The feel of the air.
The person beside me.
The sound outside the window.
The work beneath my hands.
And I’ll remember:
Oh, yeah.
This is it.
Not the rehearsal.
Not the waiting room.
Not the road to somewhere else.
This.
So wherever you happen to be as you read this…
welcome back.
Good evening, friends.
And good night from Now.
