This is a picture that my friend took of me last year. When this picture was taken, my cigarette smoke was exploding with color (do to the way the sun was hitting it). It was absolutly beautiful. I decided to choose this picture because I thought it capture myself being "there in the moment" really well. I believe being aware of what is going on in the present is an extremely important aspect of life. Part of my spirituality is based on this. I thought the quote by Buddha gave the picture a little bit more of an explination.
