Presence

There are times in our lives where for all kinds of reasons we are soul weary and life dims in its brightness and beauty.  So soul weary and overwhelmed and exhausted by the immensity of all that has consumed our time and energy we look up from our emptied state and we seek solace and fulfilment.

Life, when we carry such a weight becomes unmanageable and we lose our way too easily. We know we need balanced restored.

As long as we are evolving beings upon this planet of lesson there will always be times of tragedy, sorrow and hardship. As we move through hardship and sorrow it becomes even more vital to purposefully create balance.

No matter how much tragedy and loss and difficulty has befallen our hearts the world will always contain peace, harmony, kindness, compassion, hope, love and beauty in equal measure.

When we bring into our lives the counter-balance life becomes more manageable, the dark does not seem so dense and the mountains do not seem so high.

There is so much beauty in the world. We wake every day to the sun bringing us light. We go to sleep every night to millions of twinkling stars shining in the sky above us.

There is light and beauty everywhere from the luminous bugs that come out at night to the sparkling of water that reflects the sun upon it.

From the glistening dew of the morning grass to the infectious laughter of the child playing we are surrounded by the miraculous.

‘Presence’ is a moment in time, an opportunity to connect to the beauty of the world and find a point of balance in that connection.

It is an invitation to stand in front of images of beauty and magic, calmness and the earth’s graceful gifts and know and remember how much goodness there is in the world around us.
