A Glasshaus blog post that explores finding focus through the lens of the poem, incorporating the Lighthaus Blissometer and Glasshaus's approach to self-discovery:
The poem "Here then, there now" ( https://allpoetry.com/poem/2813394--How-to-be-here---now-and-then---there-at-the-same-time-by-braind) beautifully captures the paradox of human existence. We are beings of the present moment, yet our minds often wander to the past or future, leaving us feeling lost and disconnected. This struggle to find focus is a common experience, amplified in our technologically saturated world where distractions are constant.
At Glasshaus, we believe that true focus and clarity come from grounding ourselves in the here and now. As the poem suggests, the "here and now" is a vast and limitless space, a canvas for creation and self-discovery. But to access it fully, we must let go of the past and future, embracing the present moment with all its messiness and beauty.
