How our obstacles can become an opening for spiritual growth
Attending to the all-pervasive aliveness that surrounds us
The realization of our formless identity
The only question that matters: Am I present at this moment?
The meaning of saying yes to what isand the art of stating a high-quality no
Being the space in which things happen
That which cannot be threatened
Stillness and true relationship

How presence transforms our experience of uncertainty
