So much to feast upon (and in feasting not diminish).

You used the phrase "being in the moment" and there was a sense of place attaching more responsibility. I have a different reaction to "being in the now" in contrast with the phrase "being in the moment" ... the now seems bigger somehow. Also I associate the phrase: "be here now"

All of this brings to mind a book by Pete Leki (published among friends, and published online here: http://www.riverbankneighbors.or g/howtodisappear/index.htm) - How to Disappear. The story begins: Live somewhere. A great beginning, and a great consummation.

Living in an urban area, as I do (tho not as always) and recognizing nature abundantly around me - and the efforts of many to honor nature in the urban ... there still exists a deep tension.
