WHEREVER YOU ARE, be all there.

I can’t remember when I first heard that said, but it’s been a part of my thinking for a long time now.  It’s the other side of being awake: awake is for yourself, being there is for others.  It’s possible for me to stand in front of my students and be a million miles away (well, maybe a few thousand).  It’s better, though, the show up in every way possible.

And so a song by Nashville musician Jill Phillips.  The song, “Show Up,” is from her album In This Hour.  A good thought for a day late in the week.
