Pausing

Just pause for a moment.  A slow breath in.  Hold.  A releasing easy breath out.  Right here.  Right now.  Is the Presence.  Feel it in my body.  Breathe it from the air around me.  Let it go back out for more circulation in.  Easy breathing right here right now.

I am filled with loving kindness.  I am well.  I am peaceful and at ease.  I am happy.  I know I’ve written this before and I will write it again.  Practicing the pause in the Presence is the infinite gift of human life.  Receiving gifts has not been my strong point.  I’m always worried about the tit for tat rule–what should I do for this, how did I earn it, what will you want from me in return.

The Presence has no source, is no source, has no end point or destination.  That is why the Path is so comforting for me.  My feet never fall off the ground.  Each trembling step forward still reaffirms the undeniable yet unbelievable truth of safety and love in the Presence.

I am, you are, we are IN the Presence.  Right here.  Right now.
