We can be physically present and mentally and emotionally absent.  It seems as though the world predominantly values being physically present.  It is harder to be aware of the other ways of being present unless we choose to pay attention to it.  Plus it is different for every person.  Beneath it is in the availability of our hearts.  Our hearts will beat so we are able to show up physically but if we are in the mental and emotional space of needing protection we will be guarded and less available to what the heart wants to teach us and share with others.  There is time and space for all experiences so it is not as though it is only valuable when we have more availability.  It is the courage to know for ourselves what the availability of our heart is.  If we pause and listen to the rhythms of our heart we can tend to it.  We can know we are in a space of less availability of our heart to the world but more availability of our heart to God.  God alone can restore us to the recognition of the fullest capacity of availability of love in our hearts.  Our creator designed us and knows the longings of our heart before we know them for ourselves.  On my daily date with God I have been given the gift of learning to tune into the availability of my heart.  It enables me to take care of the core of who I am.  It encourages me to show up and be available to the lessons of love and the opportunity to give love.  It grants me the curiosity and self-compassion to be less available when I know it is time for restoration of my heart by God. Through the process of our daily dates, I am able to show up physically, emotionally, and mentally with an aligned availability of being.
