We fall for the illusion that our physical presence is the most important and in some cases the only presence that matters. We place such high value on what we can see, touch, and hear that the elements of reality that are under the radar are not given as much value.  Yet all of us know what it is like after someone with a lot of energy exits a room.  We have been present with someone who is physically with us but is somewhere else in their mind or heart.  In the same way, we recognize how someone’s physical presence is no longer with us, there is an awareness of their energetic presence no longer being with us.  It makes me wonder what I leave in my wake when I leave someone, a room, or experience.  How much of my energy remains and for how long and to what degree are the other people with whom I was present are still affected by my wake? Just like watching the waves that come behind the back end of the boat as it is moving forward, what kind of wake do I leave and for how long?  Do I have good ripples or bad ripples?  It is dependent upon our frame of mind and heart when we occupy the spaces we are in.  If I want to leave a good wake, it helps to notice what I am present within an experience just before I leave.  Scientists have learned that the last thing we experience is what sticks in our minds about how we felt about it at the time.  Taking a closer look at my state of mind and heart as I am wrapping up an experience will have an impact on what I leave in my wake.
