My friend Mary — who attended both my shows at the Lilypad in Cambridge where she heard my song “Stay in the Moment”— sent me this yesterday:
.
Where are you living? Can you tell where I’m living by my images for today?
.
Here’s what I find when I search for “where are you living?” on YouTube.

Thanks for being here now, no matter where you are living.
Let’s try to have a good Fourth, Ann.
We’ll do our best, my friend.
Happy 4th of July, Ann! I hope that today is a great day for you to live in the moment.
Thanks, Maureen. I hope the same for you.
In the Venn diagram above, I guess I live in the future, for the most part. And being a writer, one of my favorite things to do is imagining worst cast scenarios. Even when I’m driving, I imagine not seeing a car coming on my left as I move into that lane. Keeps me checking my mirrors at least twice. Am I worried about the future? Yes I am. And if everything goes upside down, am I curious to see how bad it can get? Sadly, also yes. But am I voting for Joe? Absoeffinglutely!
I’m glad you’re living where you’re living, Barbara.
I’m not always sure where I am, because I have a challenging sense of direction, but I like to think I’m here in the moment
I always feel like you are here with me, beth!
Several years ago I read an essay by a physicist who said Alice In Wonderland was “really about” symbolic algebra which gained popularity while Dodgson was a professor at Oxford, and which he considered ridiculous. I still believe that, unlike the solution to an equation, stories don’t have a single “answer” and can be interpreted in all kinds of ways.
I like what you’re really about, Chris.
