Being present does not mean one is still.  It can be an active state.  A smile on your face because you just experienced a paradigm shift.  It can be leaning into the driving rain of an approaching thunderstorm.  Or crouched over bicycle handlebars as wheels sing the song of 50 mph descents.  Now is not always a meditation in silence.  Being present is a doorway to a state of gratitude.


Where are you now?
