We have come full circle!

If presence is the still point, the silent canvas upon which the messy paintings of our lives are layered, then the ‘quiet tension’ of unconditional love finally resolves. We see that love is not a feeling we generate or a benchmark we hit, but a sustaining reality we simply inhabit.

To say that presence is our destiny is to admit that we are moving toward a total transparency, where the ‘smoke and mirrors’ of our evaluations finally clear. In this light, the ‘I’ and the ‘You’ aren’t separate entities negotiating a contract; they are the intimate immediacy of a single, infinite gift. We are being poured out into one another. When we are truly present, we aren’t just observing the other person, we are returning to the love that was our origin all along.
