Hey! It's good to hear from you denmarkguy. I don't get many comments on here anymore and am not nearly as active as I used to be on here. Hence the over 2 week late response... I still post my adventures, but... Anyways... Um.
I totally agree with what you've said and I've been listening to Ram Dass in recent years and I appreciate a lot of what he has to say. A very wise man indeed in my opinion.
And, yes... Being present is so important especially when society these days seems to be demanding we live in the future so much! Glad you liked the image. :) Hope all is going as good as possible for you!
"Life happens," and we get busy.
In a sense we are both blessed in the "Being Present" department simply by living naturally amazing spots like Sedona or northwestern Washington... makes the journey a little lighter than looking at the back of a grimy highrise in some city.
Gratitude matters.
Be well, my friend!
