 Struggling with Presence? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

A tree cannot help but uncurl its leaves in spring
Just as a river cannot stop its journey to the sea
Nature flowing in full presence, not questioning or doubting
Presence to be here now, so simple, to just be with what is unfolding in each moment
To feel the miracle in every step, glory in each manifestation
To be absorbed in what is, witnessing the magnitude of a setting sun
The beauty of a flower newly unfurled, meeting the world for the first time without expectation
Or demand

A bird taking flight, thermal, soaring, gliding free
I look to nature as my teacher, so easeful fills her relationship with presence
Not a lifetime journey of practice and prayer to hold me there in that moment
My mind easily distracted by flights of fancy, dreaming, wandering, conceiving
Hatching new plans to entertain the restlessness of the mind, satisfying the ego that it is still
In control
We both know this is an illusion, a game that has been played since the beginning
Of time
It's an act of madness, and yet still I continue, with the distractions and
Amusements being pulled this way and that

But I know the truth, in those fleeting moments I see it, in its radiance, dropping into the
Infinity of bliss, free-falling into the abyss
It is everything and nothing, emptiness and fullness
To be present is to be in the presence of divinity, to feel the wondrous glory that
Touches the soul with a kiss
