Enlightened Living

Michael and article of insight and of wisdon .
So many may believe as long as I am there or I call or write . Yet this type of presence is far beyond what many may know or have paused to do as we all have found ourselves moving so quickly we may have past what was right there in front of us all along . To find at time when to late we can not go back . To learn that time is not ours to own it is ours to care for . As it is in those around us and the presence we take in being there . Just making ourselves obvious in a room or in a letter or a call . What it takes is a moment in time to to try to understand how another may be feeling or why . To be able to give more then we may want or feel entitled to . To give with out cause or to be just because . To do for others or for self for reasons that will be of good not for worth that will be shown on the news or to get a raise . Just to take a moment in time to be present with one or to pause in a day to be greatful . Struggles and turmoild intangle this web as many may run and hid or even want to fix it for you . Yet all it takes in life is to know another is present in there understanding of what can be that we are one of many . To pause for a moment in time you may see the beauty of a loved one you may have never seen a understanding you may have never had . As this can be with a co worker and a friend . How often have we pasted up this opportuninty to pause to hear their voice even though they may be speaking to take the time to pause and actually listen to what they have to say . Who knows what they have may offer us more then we may have ever known or inkind we will find that we will be able to be there for them . All it takes is a moment in time to be present for just one in a day . This will become the way to live rather then the race we all have become so used to running passing by all the beauty love and even pain we could have learned from or been able be there for .
Just one moment in time to be present . Simple it sounds yet somewhat difficult it seems .

The question in that is why ?

Take a moment to listen to anothers voice you never know what they may have to tell you or they have to share . You may just be able to be there for them in ways you never knew you could be . All it may take is being present . That is all .

Why would one want to be psychologically present in an inherently difficult ongoing psychological situation? Am thinking of that great scene in MIDNIGHT EXPRESS where the young men in the Turkish prison takes themselves out of time and place, and actually find some peace that way.

An article that beholds such wisdom . Wisdom that is through that comes from within . What we each can do if to only see and hear those around us as too our self . A gift of presence is not in gaged by if you are right there by ones side , rather it is the connection of something greater , love,care, joy , happiness , and or willingness to listen and guide some one in helping them . A cadence in life we all can take depending on what steps in life that come from within with others to say even if to check in with yourself every now and then is not such a bad idea . A compassion one may not learn in school or is trained to do , or is one is told to be . It is just who we are if to step in this way . Simple but true .

Michael I often return to see what you have to share far past your years of life .

Great article, but was a little confused on the breathing portion. You said "Simply draw a deep breath and let it out through your nose." Do you mean to draw it in through your nose as well? I think that was what you inferred, but found the wording a little confusing.
Was a good read overall, I really enjoy discovering new perspectives on achieving overall peace and oneness. The balance becomes easier.
Peace.
