“Practice presence -- embrace the place where life happens.”
“In your life there are a few places, or maybe only the one place, where something happened, and then there are all the other places.”
“Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen.”
“The leaves of this enormous tree, those are the million places where life lives and things happen and creatures come and go.”
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
“The practice of giving thanks...eucharisteo...this is the way we practice the presence of God, stay present to His presence, and it is always a practice of the eyes. We don't have to change what we see. Only the way we see.”
