Where the Richness of Life Lies

Being present helps me face the worry that life is passing me by.

I find it empowering to be present, to be with my life however it is. With presence I’m not waiting for something to happen. I’m more at ease with the moment.

With presence comes the ability to be aware of every level of your experience. Whether it’s your senses — like the feeling of the breeze on your skin — or internal things like emotions, presence is where the richness of life lies.

By cultivating presence in meditation, I’m able to experience it in my daily life. It’s funny how what once seemed mundane is transformed into a glorious experience.
