Your presence

For yourself, for others, be there, be present. Of all the things you can offer, your presence is likely to matter the most.

Whether it’s peaceful or hectic, desirable or not, be truthful about where you are. Express that truth with your attention, your acceptance, your presence.

If you’re not sure what to say or do, just be you, authentic. Let the moment exist and let yourself be fully in it, as it comes, as it is.

You dream, you plan, you remember, you speculate and wonder. Yet all those things are faint shadows cast by your mind on the reality of where you are, of now.

Treasure what has been, love what could be, while you live what is. With your presence, transcend time, space, thought, feeling, and bring it all into the miracle of your existence in this moment.

Every thought is possible, and no thought is necessary. Give and experience the beauty of your presence.

— Ralph Marston
