Some excitement here!
We had a relatively major earthquake on Saturday (January 2, 2010). No missing this one, a 6.5 26 miles offshore (so about 75 miles or so from us), with a long serious roll. First one since the big trio of 1992 where I was ready to go outside. I chose a doorway, as it was my volunteer dispatch weekend and I needed to stay by my phone and radio especially if this was a potential natural disaster.
The Earth speaks. Nature still has the mightier hand. And the lesson to learn is to be able to accept uncertainty, work with the now, be prepared for anything, and fear not. It is all part of our life and living as humans in the world. And makes for some pretty interesting adventure as well.

In my humble opinion, to "be here now", to accept each moment as it is, is not a philosophy of complacency. It is understanding that as things happen you are given the opportunity to work with what is, not with what you want, fear, or otherwise predict may be. It propels you to act in synchronicity with the world around you. And it makes it more fun!
Life's an adventure, rejoice in it.
