Not sure if you're having a waking moment?
Don't just check the light switch - leave your bags and head straight for the docks!
All Ashore that's goin to Shore!
Everything is layers isn't it?
There's the present. As a whole.
Then there's the wrapping.
And the box that separates the present moment
from the other moments.
It's not just a present or a gift, it's many gifts! Infinitely many gifts!
Perhaps the best parts of the present are never fully unwrapped!
Every present has a sort of imaginative aspect to it...
Will you be here with the presence of the Holy Moment?
Can you focus long enough, or will your ego separate in search of some anchor .. some shoreline ... something you know and can make sense of?
When the ship leaves the shore for some great unknown land, will you trade the steady dock that safely harbors your dreams for a small, rocking, smelly, confined ship pointed towards the stormy, unforgiving waters?
There are no comforts out there.
Then again, comfort is not why you came ...
All Aboard! Toot Toot.
This boat leaves only once and never crosses the same waters twice!
**The best films aren't tied to this sort of slavish narrative thing
