Now. Here. This.*

megaphone-155779_640 Now hear this….

NOW.   This moment.  Right here.  This is when we have.  What is the right/best/good/courageous/loving/authentic thing to do now?

HERE. This place. Right here.  This is where we are. What is the right/best/good/courageous/loving/authentic way to be here now?

THIS. This stuff. Right here. This is what we have. What is the right/best/good/courageous/loving/authentic way to use what is true now?

Then is some other time.  There is somewhere else.  That is something different.

Now hear this…….. Now. Here. This. 

* This post was inspired by the April 2, 2015 On Being podcast.  Host Krista Tippett interviewed Father Greg Boyle, who is the founder and executive director of Homeboy Industries, a non-profit dedicated to helping former and current gang members turn their lives around.  Father Boyle shared that he uses “Now. Here. This.” (also the title of an Off-Broadway play) as a mantra, to remind him to be present with who and what is right in front of him.
