where I am

Stand in the place where you are
(Now face North)
Stand in the place where you are
(Now face West)
Your feet are going to be on the ground
(Stand in the place where you are)
Your head is there to move you around,
so stand.

~~~~~~~~~~~R.E.M. "Stand"

this song by R.E.M. has been in my head for most of the week.

so often we are not looking at where we are

we look at where we think we should be,

where we think we ought to be,

where we aren't.

I'm looking around at where I am
& I like it.

I have new places to go,
new jobs to tackle,
new goals to achieve,

but where I am ....
right now...

at this moment...

is good.

my head is there to turn me around
should I need it
& this week I did

& went with my head where it looked...
at a better place for me to be.

so here I am.

here I will be.

this is where I stand.
