(Be Here)Now

Some would say that it's a worthwhile challenge to issue one's self--to be fully present and attentive in each moment of one's existence. But what would that mean, exactly? How would that look? What would that require?

I've been in the presence of a few people (maybe 3 in my whole life) that I believe had found a way to affect this kind of attentiveness. And it's a seductive experience to have someone like that focused so fully on you. It's seductive just watching them be present where they are.

To fully possess yourself you must fully forget yourself, then remember what you forgot, but with forgiveness, with distance. Or something.

What am I on about, you wonder?

So do I.
