You'd label me insane if I walked up to you in public and asked, "Can you paint for me your present place of now?" Who asks that kind of question? Tell me what you identify as your present place. The natural reaction would be to look around. Look upward at the sky or ceiling. Look back at me and say, "Um aren't we in the same place?" No. Just because the shell that carries you forward is in the moment doesn't allow those on the outside to know what's moving through the channels of the way you think. Painting your present place of now is one of those situations that instantly triggers the other emotions we hold to block out what someone on the outside is bringing. It's like standing on the corner of walk and don't walk. How we place our individual selves at the light before the crossing is how people perceive us. If you were to paint your present place of now the identity of who and what you're growing into would invite or push away what no longer needs to be part of the walk in forward emotion. On this podcast I'm transparent with what my present place of now looked like on the day it was lived in 2016. I go back to study the growth of that painted present. It's like a radio disc jockey, if we hadn't recorded our shows then gone back to listen to them, we'd hear no growth in the presentation. As normal everyday people we get hooked up on the way we think the memory should be. Paint for yourself the present place of now. You'll be amazed at what you discover in the weeks and months ahead.
