PRESENCEThis week I have been privileged to be "knocked into" the present moment. I had all these plans. You know what I mean. I have stuff to do. Do do do! It was all very precise. Things had to get done. Then, I got one phone call that changed all of that urgency. One of my friends had experienced a death in her family. A tragic death. I needed to be there. Suddenly, all of that stuff wasn't really that urgent. I dropped it all to be with her. There was a moment when she needed me and (thankfully) I was there. That's it. One moment to be present with the grief of another person. Then it was over. And I got back to my "stuff". I still had stuff to do. Then, I got another call. Another death. Another good friend. This cannot be a coincidence. Something is trying to get my attention. I will heed this call. I am on my way to be with my friend to be there with her. Perhaps my "stuff" isn't all that important after all!
