Presence


The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

just being there- no words- is the greatest gift to give someone in pain.

it's so hard to be with someone who's onto their next thought while you're speaking.

they haven't heard a bloody word you've said.

I'm here Get Zapped !
Daisy is a flower which seems simple and it is not ; it grows everywhere in the world and yet even in France in nature it is different ; for instance in Limousin which is an area in the middle of our country daisy has less petals than in Paris area where I took my profile picture. In Switzerland the petals are longer.
I like to meet daisies though, how they are, where they are.
