The challenge of being present..

I am now in London, and after a short flight from New York I was ecstatic to be here. There is definitely something that resonates with me about the Uk. I was of course looking forward to being here because of my great friends I haven't seen in four years. I was also excited as I was going to make a concerted effort to being present for the time that I am here. What does that mean and why does it matter? well I have lived here before, and that may have me wear rose colored glasses, where I see only good things. And as I am considering what my next steps are, it is important to notice how things are, not what they were. Also there is magic - pure magic - in being present. Strange things can happen, and they often do when you are living in the now. So that is something I am committed to doing over the next 6 weeks. For now I am grateful that I have arrived here safely, that I haven't passed out yet from jet lag, and that I have amazingly generous friends who are willing to put me up for a while. So not one of my most amazing blogs but it is relevant when traveling - it is the best opportunity to be preent.
