"Presence doesn't make a grand entrance.
It doesn't need the spotlight.
It doesn't always come with answers or certainty."
Gabby Jimenez
Darkness can be quite powerful. Fear can ramp up and spread like a wildfire or take on a frightful voice of criticism and judgment. Instead of mentally running, we need to discover the bits of silence waiting for our attention. There is a presence in our inner being offering a safe place to simply be.
When we are still, the presence becomes stronger, and our fears can be reduced to a manageable level. A sense of calmness spreads across our body, mind and soul. We are no longer feeling alone or isolated. This presence does not have an agenda. It simply is holding space for us to feel safe and not be alone.
Presence is not a specialized event. It is always available to us, just waiting to be noticed. If we quiet the mind, and reduce our fight or flight impulses, this is a natural safe space for us to return. It is here where we can experience an array of emotions and still be respected and honored. This presence needs not a name.
