IMPECCABLY HERE AND NOW

by James Denomme

I have a friend that works as an ER nurse in Laverton Australia. It a mining town on the edge of nowhere. The majority of the patients are Aboriginal.They often arrive, depending upon the weather, in little or no clothes. The hospital keeps a pantry of clothes for these patients to dress in once they are discharged from being cared for.

The hospital always find discarded clothes on the outskirts of the property because, once again, depending on the temperature, the Aboriginals will cast them off and proceed (nude) into the bush.

When she told me of this, I too, was mortified, thinking them fools and ingrates. I have since revised my opinion of there practice.

Imagine being that into the here and now: completely unconcerned of what the future holds? How my life would be so very full if I lived it minute by minute!!

No worries mate indeed!
