"You should write a book!" For years people have been saying this to Keith Kron in response to his social media posts about encounters in airports, on the commuter train, in check-out lines, in restaurants. His posts let his aging parents know he was doing fine and expanded their world a bit.Then he realized his posts were also a running conversation with his friend Cynthia, who lived far away. Suddenly Cynthia died. And then, little by little, by returning to his story-telling practice on social media, he learned how to laugh again, to be present to others again, and to be present again to himself.

This book is a collection of moments when we too are invited to be present to the life in front of us. By being present, we too might better honor what has gone before and open ourselves to what lies ahead.
