Presence is a state of consciousness beyond thought.
To be present requires that you know that you are not your thoughts.
When you separate your self from your thoughts, this is called mindfulness.

To be present requires the profound understanding that past and future are illusions
and that the present moment is all there is.

With presence comes the realization of who you are,
beyond form and thought; who you are in essence.

Presence is the gateway to recognizing and experiencing
the joy of human existence; the joy of being.

 Presence is the fire I want to share with you.
It is also the fire that I hope you will share with me.
