The Practice of Returning

Presence is not a personality trait.

It is a discipline.

You will drift.
You will scroll.
You will hurry.
You will react.

And then you return.

Return to your breath.
Return to your posture.
Return to your intention.

There is no shame in drifting.

The practice is in returning.

Perhaps presence is not perfection.

Perhaps it is the willingness to come back.

Again and again.
