A Present of Presence
Being present to the present is, itself, a spiritual practice of great magnitude. It is
a practice that nudges us to awareness, alertness and attention. It is aided by a
desire to live the human life as fully and significantly as possible. There are
numerous distractions and diversions that threaten our resolve to be present to the
present, but the promise of the practice is that we will avoid coming to the end of
our lives feeling as though we've never lived at all.
