It is growth, it is death, inanimate and living, it s all the same. As each drop in the ocean, it is all one, all divine. In principal, not coincidentally, both scientifically and spiritually sound. It is the practice of living in the moment. If we don t like what we are, we have the wondrous opportunity to be what we wish in the next moment, each and every time.
Presence is the art of non-distraction.
Living every moment not distracted by past negativity or future worry, appreciating the wonder, the miracle in where we are and what we are doing. Meditation has two benefits. The other is calming the mind. Learning, practicing shutting off the incessant chatter, the manipulative force that is the fallible human mind. Most of us have minds like a kite, carried on the wind, with our physical presence being the tail.
