Have you ever found yourself holding a cup of coffee, or maybe reading a book, waiting for a friend who is late, quietly sitting in prayer or mediation, and found your mind has taken flight to another place and time? I have been caught in those state. I’ve also caught others in those state, just staring out the window. They are no longer present. Gone. Bye-bye. They are some place else. Yep, I must admit to all of the above. I do not always stay present to the moment. I’m learning to be more aware of those times of departure and gently come back to the present.
