It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything with an intention of sharing. It’s felt really wonderful for me, a person who can take a (very, very) long time to process.
I’ve always been obsessed with the concept of time - how it’s all relative, how we can slow it down or speed it up, or even rewind or fast forward when taking lengthy flights around the world. Airplanes are literally time machines, and I wonder who else considers the enormity of all of this.
I write this here and now having just returned from the future, and it’s feeling quite strange to be back home in the past.
When you’re flying over the Atlantic and the sun never sets because you are going backwards in time, it’s a pretty incredible reminder that the only time that exists is here and now. Now cannot exist without place, and here cannot exist without time, and everything in existence can only exist in here and now.
Traveling is a powerful opportunity to remember the truth of here and now. It’s harder to remember in our daily lives. With our routines and familiarities it can be easy to check out and feel as if we are operating in a loop - same places, same people, same things over and over.
The truth is they are never the same places, people, or things - everything exists only in here and now, so depending on the moment in which we interact with them, they are entirely new. We are all entirely new, if we allow ourselves to be.
Where are you reading these words? What are you thinking and feeling in this moment? What can you do right here and now to allow yourself to be entirely new?
I am so happy that you exist! Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to spend some time existing together 💖
