"By virtue of being human, each one of us is on intimate terms with not being present.
Because of this, our intimacy with this felt absence is a powerful ally.
This is the terrain of mindfulness practice.
Each time we awaken to no longer being present to ourselves or to another person, it is, paradoxically, a moment of presence.
If we are willing to see the whole of our lives as practice, our awareness of the moments when we are not present, coupled with our intention to awaken, brings us into the present.
Given our penchant for absence, opportunities for practicing presence are abundant."-Saki Santorellihttp://www.mindful.org/letting-ourselves-heal/Wishing you many moments of presence today
