Day 158 Living Deeply



Already in your first 25 years, you have moved more than I have in my life! You've had travel, experiences, and accumulated miles and places and acquaintances that I have not. :)

What does it mean to live deeply in a place, to move about in it as opposed to passing through it? Do you feel the pull of history and place in a hundred places around the globe, and know that you could have lived a happy life in any one of them?

As you change your location, are you content to immerse yourself in the place where you are? Maybe to truly live in a place, you must give your life to that place for a time. It is a dynamic commitment, but it is also a manifestation of stillness. A generous dollop of stillness is good, especially in the midst of moving.
