Where are you?

I was cycling on the North and South Banks of the Thames this Sunday morning. Listening to Big Ben, trying to be mindful of other tourists and joggers, listening to the Bells of Southwark cathedral and wondering where the Shard, Mobile phone, gherkin, MI6 HQ and other iconic London buildings had sprung from . . . must visit some of the new attractions . . . fun. Anyway a pic will stop me blathering on . . .

I did not take this picture.

Needless to say I am wondering why I live in Michigan.
We in a sense have an internal and external location.

Externally we are in different places. Internally too. Even though in Absolute terms we have no residing abode, no soul of transmigration, no independent of conditions arising, we are very much somewhere.
You will also notice how @citta and @how where very much in the human realm of 'the now'.
. . . so let me ask the question again, Yoda style . . .
Where you are?
I'm right here. What exactly here is, is another matter.
@lobster, I was once in psychiatric hospital on Vauxhall Bridge road and the MI6 building at the other end of the bridge caused some interesting delusions amongst the residents.
have a travel reporter, hahaha...... Stamp me!
Currently melting. But I'm luckier than my fellow Aussies living in Victoria or South Australia.
If you feel inclined to pray, please do so. Otherwise much metta should be sent their way.
Chiang Mai has been fine recently. Lots of tourists.
I was over in Issan last week. All quiet there so far. Same in the far north.
I might be nervous if I owned any property here. But for a visit, even an extended one, I would have little concern at this point.
That could change, but I believe that both sides of the dispute are aware of the damage that ruining the tourist industry could do to the country, long term.
where I am: currently proofreading my friend's cover letter in a west side basement in Vancouver, sitting on a well-used office chair.
Some people have chosen to equate this question with ones interior location. Part of this is static and immutable, though one could also say the Buddha Nature is in flux and ever changing . . .
In many ways our inner location becomes apparent in the reflection of the outside. In other words, what we express reveals our inner location.
Can we find that, to answer, 'where are you?'
I felt sooooooooo sorry for the tennis players in the Aust Open. It must have been brutal!!
For some reason here in Australia though we act as if it's a minor inconvenience when it's 45C and we're living in a fan forced oven and everything should just carry on as normal!
Why is my train late? Ahhhhhh....coz the tracks might buckle so it's running slower than usual
