Living in the present moment is a lot like spending a few seconds looking at a piece of ART.
- Let’s start with this:
Most of us have gone camping in the woods at some point.
- When we first arrive, exhausted from the trip, we get absorbed by the trees, the greenery, the atmosphere, the sheer wonder of the place.
- When we’re climbing a small hill, our minds are focused only on reaching the top.
- There’s no ego.
- No thinking about problems.
- No obsessing over the life we’ve built inside our tiny personal worlds.
• We all carry titles.
For example:
Sariraa is a woman.
She’s a certain age.
She has these skills.
She studied here.
She does this for a living.
- But those things aren’t who we really are.
- They’re labels that start getting attached to us in childhood and follow us for the rest of our lives.
• Now think about that moment of silence at the top of a hill.
• Or the sound of birds in the distance.
- For those few seconds, there’s no name attached to you.
No bills.
No taxes.
No achievements.
You simply are.
- Exactly as you are meant to be.
• Then eventually your mind comes back online and starts pulling you toward the past, the future, and everything else that isn’t that pure thing inside you.
- But for those few moments, you were truly alive.
• And you’ve probably experienced something similar while looking at a piece of art.
(I know I have, many times.)
- That’s why those moments stay with us.
- That’s why when we return to a particular artwork, that feeling often returns too.
- Because looking at a work of ART and whether you completely lose yourself in it or not is one of the most genuine ways to experience the present moment.
- And the present moment is real life.
I suspect every Greek fishing village has one person who knows how everything used to work.
The tides.
The weather.
Which rope to trust?
Which boat won’t make it through winter?
Probably this guy.

@juliatetley@HWarlow So many houses used to have these little pathways around the back, there were always children playing…the world is busier and more full yet less children.
