New Orleans mornings, a clash of chaos and opportunity. A street hustler stopped me, a challenge in his eyes: "I can tell you where you got those shoes." I was certain he couldn't. I was wrong.

He pointed down. "Right here, right now." A $20 lesson in presence. We live in past and future, problem-solving, always looking elsewhere. But life unfolds in the present. School teaches us to fix problems, but what if the problem is our inability to see "right here"?

In the full post, I delve into how this simple interaction revealed our collective blindness to the present moment. You'll discover how "right here" is the birthplace of "I am," the starting point of inner work, and the origin of any true movement.
