Day 4019: Be more present

Posted on January 3, 2024 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, after I was trying to be more present at (1) the airport saying goodbye to my son, (2) the vet’s office ordering more blood pressure medication for our cat Harley, and (3) the movie theatre for another film on my vacation, I saw this sign:

Let’s be more present with my other images for today.

Celebrating “life through looming death” has been helping me be more present since I was very young.

Day 3655: Wildcat

Here is the trailer for Wildcat.
