Be-ing Present with Someone

To be present with someone is not only a gift you give to another, it is a gift you give to yourself. 

By being fully present, here and now, you will see, feel, and experience the silent beauty in every detail of your surrounding. You will see the other person for the light that they truly are, and not the body that they wear. 

You will be submerged in the depth and aliveness of this moment, and of whatever appears in it. 

You will experience the totality of what your fleeting mind has often overlooked because of its constant rush to get to the 'next' moment, and the next one, and the one after that.

 Rest your mind, because the next moment will never come. It is an illusion that the mind is chasing, while the truth remains: you always FIND YOURSELF here and now.
