I like this rumination with its reach into the dictionary and contexts. Vis a vis RamDass, the phrase "Be Here Now" can be reduced to two words. "Be Here." Here, after all, is the only place where Now can be. Besides, as soon as you try to be in "Now, you find it's impossible since as soon as you say "now," another "now" is already happening, whereas "here" can be wide and stable, populated by others, abiding in change. "Here" Hineni. Present in presence.

Have been inspired by so much about the books of Isaiah, and hope to join tomorrow but sadly a conflict has come up, would very much like to have a chat with you, so if you can connect with me it would be appreciated
