Or counting down to lunch before your day has even begun? In this opening episode of Season 18, I explore our very human tendency to live ahead of ourselves — and how we can gently guide ourselves back to presence.\nI reflect on conversations with my son, moments of yearning, memories from years gone by — and the beautiful, sometimes difficult practice of being with what is. I share thoughts on how cultural conditioning, unconscious habits, and even well-meaning manifestation messages can pull us out of the now… and what helps us come back.\nThere’s a lot of heart in this one, including:\nwhat we miss when we live for the “there”\nquotes from Thich Nhat Hanh and Ram Dass that always bring me home\nand why presence doesn’t mean avoiding change\nI also share a little about A Piece of Quiet — and why it’s becoming one of the things I most love to create.\n\nYou'll hear the wind get up as I talk about coming into Winter - and the beaded curtain that covers the open door of the stable begins to clatter slightly. Apologies for this and also... I quite like how not only the birds but the elements have made themselves heard.\n*****\nWould you love to find A piece of quiet?\nEvery Wednesday, take a moment to pause and find A piece of quiet with this calming reflective practice and Flow Journaling prompt.
