At its core, Here We Are is about the value of "time" in all its meaning and intangibility. As the devastating earthquake that ravaged Japan today ripples its energy across the world, one's appreciation for life, love, and each moment is shaken awake with clarity.

Along with thoughts and prayers, I offer the wise words of Grenville Kleiser at a time when so many are in need...

There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will.
