Getting Ready

Tonight the year turns.  Where did last year go and where are we headed?  Nowhere! We are where we are, when we are, and as we are. We talk of journey, coming and going, grasping and letting go. Yet, no matter where we think we are going, what we are grasping, or what we want to let go, we are always only in one place---exactly where we are with no place to go but right here. If we are busy trying to figure out what to let go of so we figure out where to go we forget that they are not real places. Where we were even a minute ago is no longer there. Where we will be in the next moment isn't here yet. So, where are we at any given moment? We are right where we are.
