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 matters, 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 you are!

REFLECTION:
- Where are you right now?
- How present are you to what you are experiencing, feeling right now?
- Is your life’s postcard suggesting “Wish you were here?”
- Practice being more mindful today.
