Why did you come here?
Where is "here"?
Are you "here now"?

this just begs a long answer. but, as my voice is raspy and i can only talk for a little while, i am here because i love my friend and i love participating in her blogaholism. 'here' is but one in a chain of many stops to make, some come and gone, some on the way....and for this moment, i am here. but in a moment more, i will be looking at some cool picture.

I think "here" is wherever our brain is at the moment. It can be here in this blog, thinking of an answer, but can also easily be a world away in some far off land on an adventure of a lifetime in our head! I think we are "here" when we are thinking about ourselves and our thoughts and our lives, which probably isn't as often as it should be, and participating in this blog helps remedy that situation for me.

Here... where is here? Interesting question.

I find that when I am "here" at this blog, it feels like I am somehow "at the question of the day" as if it was an actual place... and yet really, I am here at my desk.. and it's my mind that is somewhere in cyberspace...

So apparantly I'm not ALL HERE where ever that is...

And I came here... well... I came to my office to do some work, I came to this planet to... I don't know... do something... and I came to this blog to see if I could answer this question. And also to see what the other answers were in hopes that other people's answers would direct me to my own.

"think "here" is wherever our brain is at the moment."

Its nice to let your mind to more pleasant times when the ones that passed were still here sharing your love...

"also easily be a world away in some far off land on an adventure of a lifetime in our head!"

That is what motivates me to be way far away in a brand new adventure totally out of the comfort zone...I have been doing this fun fantasy more often in my writing...and then believe it or not, I realize the dream so easily could become reality...just taking the little baby steps in your plan!

"I think we are "here" when we are thinking about ourselves and our thoughts and our lives, which probably isn't as often as it should be, and participating in this blog helps remedy that situation for me."

well written cindy and so sychronistic with my own philosophy !

Why did I come here?

I must have known before I got here, but I have since forgotten...that knowledge must be tucked away in my spiritual self somewhere, and my intention is that meditation and prayer and awareness will reveal that purpose to me...

Where is here?

It is this crossroads in my life...

Am I here now?

Not really...I am constantly planning my big escape from the corporate world, and since I'm not really "here" mentally, the days blur together and nothing really stands out...

I'm glad you are enjoying being "here".

Recently, I haven't been "here" at least, not here in the NOW moment... more like somewhere out "there" in the perceived much questioned future... or back "there" in the lived and relived past...

Interesting question. I'm glad to be revisiting it!
