 Presence

My eyes open as I awaken,
 Shaking off the shackles of my mind.
Having the intent of becoming aware
 Before my foot hits the floor.
Presence.

The sunbeams float into my bedroom
As the morning welcomes me into life.
A silent joy dances in my soul
As I shuffle down the hall.
Presence.

Looking in the bathroom mirror at my face;
Seeing the wrinkles time has bestowed.
Feeling a gentleness towards myself;
Embracing my inner Fred; good morning.
Presence.

Teeth brushed with all of my attention;
Shaving off the bristles shadowing my face.
My soul drinks in the morning's softness;
A passion for the moment rises in my heart.
Presence.

Walking down the hall to the kitchen;
Each footfall a magic carpet ride.
Entering the kitchen, pouring a cup of coffee;
Savoring the hot richness of it's flavor.
Presence.

The direction of the day is set in motion;
My priority today is to honor the what is.
Unfolding moment to unique moment;
Surfing the wave of presence with joy.
Presence.
