Gentle Presence

There are people in our lives that come in and out of our lives whether socially, professionally or personally.

I may be like this to some, who come in and out of their influence and circle.

In my personal vision I declared decades ago, "I can get in and out of adventures for as long as I have a place to come home to and move up and around again."

For now, it is retreating back home to prepare for the next possibilities.

Personally, I express my thanks for the enriching moments and the gifts of presence of the people who I encountered.

Gentle Presence

Some people enter our lives like deer, slipping in and out of the woods.

They touch our earth and as we step to look at them they disappear as quietly as they came.

But you feel blessed for having experienced their gentle presence.

"Presence" by Joan Metzner" lifted from the book Gentle Presence by Earnest L. Tan

May mga tao sa ating buhay na pumapasok at lumalabas sa ating buhay mapasosyal man, propesyonal o personal.

Maaaring ganito ako sa ilan, na pumapasok at lumalabas sa kanilang impluwensya at sirkulo.

Sa aking personal na pananaw na idineklara ko ilang dekada na ang nakalilipas, "Maaari akong pumasok at lumabas sa mga pakikipagsapalaran hangga't mayroon akong lugar na mauuwian at lumipat muli at muli."

Sa ngayon, umuurong ito pauwi upang maghanda para sa mga susunod na posibilidad.

Sa aking personal na karanasa, ipinapahayag ko ang aking pasasalamat sa mga nakakapagpayamang sandali at sa mga regalo ng presensya sa mga taong nakasalamuha ko.

Banayad na Presensya

May mga taong pumapasok sa ating buhay tulad ng mga usa, na nadulas sa loob at labas ng kakahuyan.

Hinawakan nila ang ating lupa at habang humahakbang tayo para tingnan sila ay nawawala sila nang tahimik gaya ng pagdating nila.

Ngunit pakiramdam mo ay pinagpala dahil naranasan mo ang kanilang banayad na presensya.

"Presence" ni Joan Metzner"
