            Rain!

            Czeslaw Milosz, the Polish poet and Nobel laureate (who I met after he gave a lecture at the University of Michigan), opened his collection of essays, Visions from San Francisco Bay, with the line, “I am here.”  I think that is a great way to start anything, establish where you are.  It’s an added bonus if you can understand why you are there and how you got there.  This applies to physical, mental and emotional “here.”
