rarified air

i am the witness watching but i am not here.

where am i? i ask.

can i ever truly be in the moment?

or am i condemned to be stuck in the past?

or floating in my thought creation anxiously in the future.

how do you consciously stay in the moment every moment of every day?

most would say it's not possible. What do you say?

this moment now this moment now this moment.

what does it mean to be truly present. here not there, not there either but here

where is here?

that is why it's so rare to be here in this moment. are you here? do you ever truly feel here? see here? be here? this will always be the rarest moment of your life. Measured by what? seen by whom? Was it even i who conjured up this query? who are you? i ask.
