Connection with Presence

There are guides

who can show you the way.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you.

Do not claim them. Feel the artistry

moving through, and be silent.

Only the pulsing energy, the throbbing vein, the longing will take us to this place of knowing. Just be silent and still, awake and aware, and present as moment by moment life unfolds...
