Certainly, being in the moment would seem impossible in our culture’s time-fissioning present, our iPhoned, Facebooked, Googled, Twittered restlessness, our desperate fear of missing the latest morsel of information, our attention never more than a nanosecond from seduction — our discontinuous, du jour present, a Smithsonian so densely packed with experiential exhibits that no lingering look, no settled examination, seems permitted. No sooner do we settle into a moment than another gallops by, all dust and flashing hooves.
~ Jerry DeNuccio, from “A Moment.” Just as you’re ”in” the moment, another moment comes. What to do?.

Thank you, Dave, for these words worth a lingering look and for turning me on to Alive on All Channels. Happy holidays.
Hi Martha. Beth’s blog is a wonder. Happy Holidays!
Guilty as charged.
So me too Van.
Is this even healthy?? :0)
That’s the question.
it’s important to come to a full stop at times, so that we don’t miss things.
Or for some of us who can achieve a full stop because if the momentum, a pause would be good!
Even horses stop to eat and nourish themselves. Its a good place to start for galloping humans.
They also sleep standing up, but I wouldn’t recommend that 😉
Laughing. Lot of truth in that!
But sometimes it’s pixie dust, not dust dust. How does one get enough pixie (magic) dust?
That’s True!
So true!
Go to Netflix now and watch the documentary “The Minimalists”. You’ll thank me. http://www.theminimalists.com/netflix/
