Power of Presents Have you ever noticed the amazing silence that surrounds everything when we become present with what is going on? Like when catching a wave surfing the world goes still and there is only the curl of the wave and a present awareness of the next movement to make to stay standing. The other day I carelessly cut deeply in to my skin with a blender blade.....I was daydreaming. When I cut my finger so severely I found something absolutely amazing in the experience. I was immediately brought back in to the present moment and the silence that surrounded me when I became present again was astounding. I almost passed out soon after wards when I started thinking about how deeply the blade had gone, felt like to the bone, and how that cut would hinder my life style. When I realized the effect of this negative image I immediately began to be grateful for the substance that is my finger and I started to envisioned it healed and whole once again working perfectly. After a few minutes of positive feelings I was fine and back doing every thing I did before the cut and with in a week it was healed and whole again. To me the power of presents is the present its self. Give your self the present of presents.  ¶ 9:09 PM
