Here and Now

We always wish we were

… somewhere else

… something else

… someone else

… or in another time



Instead of being happy with

… where we are

… what we are

… who we are

… and when we are

  1. Luckily, I do not resemble this poem. Heehee. Sometimes, however, I do daydream about a warm beach or a cool mountain lake....

  2. Luckily, I don't resemble this either, but like Autumnforest, I do sometimes long for the beach, however, but it's not that far away! Hope your week is going well, Eric!

  3. We have an aversion to the moment, as if a better one is always just around the corner. That's a real gamble--to sit this one out and wait for the next.
