Presence

“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers” – Thich Nhat Hanh

On our morning walk my daughter handed me this flower that was along the path of a wooded trail we frequent. There were many like it upturned there by our feet but only this one with little treasures inside.  I was so happy in the moment she shared it for the usefulness found in hosting others even after the blooming of this beauty has passed.  Your presence can be a gentle, quiet retreat or an uplifting joy for someone else!  You simply have to be there.
