James, I love the prompt: Are you really here?

So often we are distracted or stuck in our head - we need those moments of true presence to reminds us that life happens in the present moment.

So very true!

Touching the prints in the snow, communion yes, and your hand blessing the coming and goings of a fellow traveler, trying to make it through this winter. The last sentence of your prose is also a lovely poem in its own right.

Thank you, my friend. As you know from your work, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes between poetry and prose! And Mark Nepo says there is no real difference for him.
