Fog

“I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.” 

~Abraham Lincoln

Fog
Have you ever tried to navigate through fog, whether it's walking or driving, especially in the early morning hours or late hours of the night?  It can be scary!  You can't see what's ahead of you, sometimes you can't see past a few feet. The fog makes you stop and be present in the very spot you are in.  There is no seeing ahead or behind you.  The only thing you can see is what's directly in front of you or beside you and sometimes the only thing you can see is you.

What if the fog was an actual lesson for us?  What if it rolls in to help us stop living in the future or the past but concentrate directly on what's happening in the present within our immediate space?  What if the fog gives us permission to just stop and be for a little while.  And what if the ultimate lesson was to be present more whether there is fog in front of us or not? 

Try it.  Live today or maybe part of the day in the "now".  Base everything off of what's directly surrounding you, not what was or could be but what IS.  Try it.  You just might fall in love with the present.
