Directly experiencing a particular place can only happen if you manage to be present without your usual filters. Otherwise, you might only be in your concept or idea of a place, whether it be your home, your work place or for that matter, an exotic vacation destination. That postcard from the edge may very well apply: “Having a great time. Wish I were here.” But you are! But your are!

REFLECTION:
- How present are you right now?
- Is this moments postcard reading”Wish I were here?”
- How can you be more present today?
