Be Where You Are: Live

May you live all the days of your life. – Jonathan Swift

I sometimes say that the past is good as a textbook, and the future a place to dream into, but the only place anything actually happens is right now.

Now is when you live.

Imagine the smallest unit of time/experience.

That’s “now.”

That is the only place anything can happen.

Live there.
