Presence is a gift as are presents.  We are called to be present in the moment we are in. This does not imply that it is easy.  In fact, it can be quite difficult.  With all we have going on in our minds at any given moment, it can be a struggle to turn off the streaming of thoughts long enough to even hear what someone else is saying.  But maybe that is not the point.  Perhaps it is about breathing and acknowledging for ourselves when we are finding ourselves slip away from the present moment and call ourselves back. Our hearts invoke us to the gift of presence by taking one beat at a time to bring energy to our eyes and breath to our lungs.
