Presence is about observation, presencing, and realising.*
(Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski and Flowers)
I … a universe of atoms … an atom in the universe**
(Richard Feynman)
Everyone has a different presence to bring.
For a while, a few moments in eternity, we bring our particular beauty into view …. and then it is gone.
It is quite unlike the particular beauties of others, made up of the things we have dropped into our “cluttered drawers” over the years, sometimes purposefully, other times because we don’t know where else to put something. I borrow “cluttered drawers” from Anne Lamott:
‘But it comes from within, from love, from the flow of the universe; from inside the cluttered drawers.’^
No-one’s drawer is empty; that would be to say it is possible to live without experiencing. It’s about how and what kind of story we bring together from what we find in the drawer.
(*From Peter Senge, Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski and Betty Sue Flowers’ Presence.)

When one sees the Virgin and the Child, one sees a witness to the Trinity. Pope John Paul II explains that this picture of Mother and Child “constitutes a silent but firm statement of Mary’s virginal motherhood, and for that very reason, of the Son’s divinity.” Inland Empire Bridal Hair
