I am challenged by your thoughts. I am always seeking that heightened sense of awareness… why can’t it be in the moment when I am truly present?

We live in a world with tons of distractions! I wrote a few posts back about the two Amish boys I met 20 years ago. They definitely are more awake to the moment.

Try analog leisure!

I have never commented before but I would like you to know that you have prime real estate in my mind and heart. And I send your writing on to my children and friends, and I know you hold real estate there too in their lives.

Your writing and insights are a gift to humanity. It is so strange that you will not ever be able to know how much you are influencing civilisation even though you certainly are.

Just for interests sake, I'm in Australia, so you have reached the other side of the globe without emissions :)!
