This week’s topic is “Presence: At the Heart of Everything, Free from Everything”

 

I first heard this phrase when I was a young student of Zen. Since then I have practiced it every day. It is a radical proposition, an invitation to live fully. Embodied presence is transformative, healing and liberating.
