…and here’s some motivation for staying personally PRESENT first to ourselves…for, whenever we leave “now” we’re DECOMPOSING…
…and next, PRESENT to one another
What an appropriate video for you…for us – with images of coffee and music…😘

Wished I’d known earlier 😟
Here’s a song writing idea…for people who dwell in the City of G-d:
“We built this City on Rocks that roll…”
I realize that I’m now preaching to the choir…BUT, with this next song, we are simply giving back to her, him, they (Trinity), what we’ve first been given…

Good reminder of what Ram Dass introduced me to many years ago.
“Be here NOW”
Seems I “leak” and forget…so the frequent reminders (like yours and Emily’s) I get are a sign that “my mercies are new every morning…”
…so are my afternoon caffeinations at Witches Brew Coffee House…

P.S. Your mention of Emily surfaced two of my male Muses – Paul & Art and these words from “Dangling Conversation”…
“You read your Emily Dickinson and I my Robert Frost”
So I went looking for what Robert might have said about “now” or the “present moment” and was rewarded with these reflections on “carpe diem”…they are gonna find a place in a draft I have on impermanence.
