No matter how much I try to focus,
Sometimes I’m just not all there.
Focus is not my greatest gift.
Or strength.
Or ability.
Color me
Fully present -less.

What silly things come out when our fingers think they know, ahead of us, what we want to say. The PROBLEM is I don’t always edit before clicking on the magic button. Tsk. Tsk. Must try harder. Must slow down…

It is so difficult to be fully present, even for a few minutes at a time. The mind is a traveler, and loves to wander. 🙂

The timing…I am feeling the same way today, and I am really trying. In time though it often works out. Hopefully you are able to enjoy the present-less time? Sometimes it is rewarding in its own way I find. 🙂

And you are right about this too! I agree that not being fully present is enjoyable. Who doesn’t like to travel amongst thoughts and ideas and such???

It can be fun sometimes. Of course, we do have to come back to reality but still sometimes it serves this purpose and you have more in you to be present after. Like refueling or something?

Yes! Refueling and re-energizing on the creativity of a wandering mind. 🙂

I think sometimes the question is “present for what?” You are very insightful and I suspect you’re present when it’s important and maybe you just fade out when your mind needs a rest. 🙂

I have stood in your beautiful country and made MADE myself be very present with the breeze, the smells, the sights….so I could go back to it when I needed to from here. Probably the most present “place” I was ever in. Though here, I am most present in “moments”. 🙂
