I decided to try to catch up with how buddhism caught on in the late sixties, and got hold of "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass, a best seller back in the day.

It was an interesting read. The biographical part made me wonder about what a serious junkie he used to be! Some sort of religion was probably a good thing for him!

I liked the idea of Be Here Now, of really being here and in the now. Living a life of endless love and compassion in the now is good, all buddhism aside!

Are you living your life on auto-pilot? It’s easy to get caught in the slipstream of daily routines, but there is a certain magic in taking the controls and choosing to be here now.

This vintage biplane design is more than just aviation art; it’s a call to action for anyone who loves intentional living and the thrill of the open sky. Whether you are a pilot, a travel lover, or someone practicing mindfulness, this retro airplane illustration serves as a visual anchor to stay grounded in the moment.

Inspired by classic flight school aesthetics and minimalist typography, this piece looks incredible on a graphic tee, framed art print, or a minimalist hoodie. Stop drifting through the clouds of "tomorrow" and start navigating your "today." ✈️

#BeHereNow gets a bad wrap for being overly long. Nah.

Oasis are brash. They're loud. They're in ya face and they're mad fer' it. This album perfectly encapsulates that.

From DYKWIM's intro, through All Around The Worlds nine minutes of absolute sign-your-heart- out chaos.

It's a ridiculous album from a ridiculous band at the top of their game, and (at the time) at the top of the world.

The real tragedy of growing up isn’t responsibility.
It’s forgetting how to be where your feet are.

Yesterday is already a memory.
Tomorrow is just a promise.
Today is the gift — that's why it's called the present.

Enjoy the NOW. ✨

In the past week and a half Jarrah has had five seizures. It started on Saturday 20th and we thought it might be a one-off; after speaking to the on call vet, I made an appointment for the following Monday and they took some blood.

Blood tests showed nothing remarkable so we agreed that we'd just monitor him. Days passed and we figured, yay, just an anomaly. But then on the weekend, he had another – much shorter, but still a concern. Then on Monday night, another. Then another on yesterday morning at 4am, and another at 9am. I was able to get another vet appointment and we discussed options.

We can do more extensive (and expensive) blood tests but the vet isn't sure it would offer much extra info. We can also do imaging to see if it's a tumour – however, that involves a specialist, a fair bit of travel, and lots of money. I suggested that knowing if there were a tumour won't help anyway, right? They can't do surgery and I wouldn't want to put Jarrah through surgery or chemo/radiotherapy. The vet agreed and is very supportive of low level intervention as much as possible.

So we're trying an anti seizure medicine. He's had four doses so far. And no seizures in the last 30 hours. This is good news but we're not out of the woods... But then, nothing is ever guaranteed so we'll take what we can get. If the medicine doesn't work, we have to make some hard decisions. The thought makes me cry. But also, I know I have loved him as much as I could, every day that he's lived with us, and I'll continue to do so, probably forever, no matter how long he has left. A reminder to be here now, and not cry about what's to come, right?

Emily Dickinson wrote, “To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.”

That kind of presence—where we’re actually alive in the moment instead of rehearsing the past or scripting the future—is rare. But it’s where we meet God, growth, and grace.

Today, pause. Breathe. Notice. Live.

Most people think Zen is just sitting still. But the real practice?
Total presence in every moment—with no effort at all. That’s when true awareness awakens.

Thomas Wilcox, English Puritan, urges charity to the poor, so as to relieve Christ [Mt 25:31ff]. Do NOT snoop about the recipient’s condition. He says that it is better to give many Counterfeits, than one needy should go unrelieved.

Nowadays, it’s more like the opposite: if an aspect of the work of a relief agency is not well understood, it’s better to make sure they go unfunded.

How can you relieve Christ in his Members?

Presence is something we often chase but rarely sit still long enough to receive.

Gratitude changes that.

It slows us down, tunes us in, and roots us in the now.

“The real gift of gratitude is that the more grateful you are, the more present you become.” — Robert Holden

Let’s practice gratitude today—not just in thought, but in how we show up for others.

I was boiling the kettle before work one day this week and it occurred to me that I feel a lot like I'm waiting... not even sure what I'm waiting for. There's so much uncertainty around, right? Can't help feeling a bit of foreboding. Globally and also personally (waiting for my PhD to be marked, I guess, mostly).

If ever I needed to remember to be here now, it's this moment. Reminding myself that nobody knows the future and if I'm always waiting for something to happen I'm not paying attention to what's happening!

It's kind of hard to resist all the what-ifs, isn't it, though?! Sigh. Breathe. Tea.

Here’s your invitation to take a moment and soak it all in. This reading of Mary Oliver’s poem, “When I Am Among the Trees” takes just one minute. Just one minute out of your busy day and the long spring task list, to hear the message often whispered to you.

This moment is what exists. Life is short. Be here now. Let the joy, wonder, and love shower out of you before we are gone forever.

It has been a day of mostly reading and writing and talking aloud to myself ('What does that even mean? That does not make sense' and other such murmurings while I reread my own work).

Part of me is excited for the holidays, part of me is already exhausted by the next fortnight and all the everything that is supposed to happen beforehand.

Be in the moment, breathe, breathe, breathe.... = my mantra, especially this month.

Just checked the messages from the school and there is 'a confirmed case of whooping cough'. Which means there are probably several unconfirmed ones. The Rabble are fine; Kid4 is due his booster next year and all the others are covered. Adam and I probably not so much. Tomorrow I'll call and see when we can get a vax, hopefully before Christmas

Nicholas Ridley was a martyr under Mary I. God is pleased with alms, will require them from our hands. Public provision should provide jobs against the indignity of begging.

But today, we seek to keep ourselves from the shame of seeing beggars, & make public provision to sweep them off our streets and highways. We testify that our Lord is more setteth by hours of devotional time.

How can you provide for the orphans and aged?

…the day after…snow on the sand..

#AtlanticOcean #snow #WinterSun #NewJersey #NewYear #ocean #BeHereNow

Had a really fun night eating latkes with some old college friends, including one I haven't seen for *decades*.

I just wish seeing these old college friends didn't trigger such feelings of regret about choices I made in my 20s (or more accurately, choices I let someone else make for me!).

The past is past. There's no way to change it, and regret over it is utterly useless.

What I CAN do is make choices about my life now, and my life going forward.

#Anxiety grounding tip that is portable and easy to remember -

Instead of following the continuous stream of judgements happening in the mind, focus your attention on the 5 senses.

👁What can you see?
🫳What can you touch?
🦻What can you hear?
👃What can you smell?
🍴What can you taste?

🧘‍♀️Brings you into the moment you are in, and distracts you from the chatter🙏

"My True Self"

Throughout my normal childhood
A silhouette in shadows stood
Beside me as I walked along
The narrow path. It was wrong,
They said, to talk to strangers, so
I acted like I didn’t know.
For forty years, that forced rejection
Blinded me to my own reflection.
