presence –
is about holding
true, beautiful,
strong and vibrant no matter
who is
or is not
watching.

it is a way,
a manner and a spirit
brought to each moment —

without self-importance,
without self recrimination,
yet with
the truest of one’s Self

it is the all-at-once recognition
that
we are both essential and non
essential,
and always
we are able
to choose
presence

in grace and love.
