Presence

Life is ever-changing, ever-shifting.  We are moving with the changes and expressing our individual selves along the way.  Our old conditioning would have us grasping at any branch or reaching for any quick fix to retain some vestige of control over the flowing current.  Our best solution is to let go.  While fear is our first and oldest response, it only slows down our process of co-creation and life expression.  Over and over, it helps me to be reminded that the present moment is the place of strength, power, calm.  Being in each moment with as much presence as we can bring is the ultimate strategy for living a life of full awareness, and full-out authenticity.  Each moment is a hand-holding with the Universe.  That moment is the place where Truth and Love are transmitted, delivered, and expressed.

"Here is the challenge.  Stop.  Look.  Listen. 
Nothing is in the way.
Spontaneously, life is bursting forth."
