Being Here Now

"There is no better place that 'here'.  When your 'there' has become a 'here', you will simply obtain another 'there' that will look better than 'here'."  Cherie Carter-Scott

We have probably all experienced the desire to be somewhere other than where we are.  Mark Nepo tells of sitting on one lake shore and admiring the opposite shore, which looked so much better than the shore upon  which he sat.  So, he rowed over to the other side of the lake; and, upon sitting on that shore, he saw that it was just like the shore he had been sitting on previously --- and, in looking back across the lake, it was that shore from which he had just come that looked so appealing now.  A good life lesson for all of us.  We can yearn for being "over there", but once there, we find it is just like where we were before.  The answer would seem to be what Eckhart Tolle teaches, Be Here Now.  Enjoy our present circumstances.  Enjoy the moment right now.
