Gratitude is just giving your fullest attention to something, experiencing it, and realizing its Presence—its aliveness. – Eckhart Tolle

the gift of presence

Each moment is alive, as is each seeming object, ‘out’ there. Everything comes alive thanks to our awareness of it. Awareness is us. And the highest love, and therefore the greatest gratitude comes from our gift of full attention to the person or object in front of us. Our thoughts distract us from the pure and spacious awareness that is us. Let’s realize our own presence!
