About This Quote
When you think about it, you are already in the moment. You are already there. You are already aware of your thoughts. To be present, doesn’t have to be a thought at all.
It is very important to remember that presence is not only the absence of fear, but also the absence of thought. When fear is absent, you are present. When thought is absent, you are present.
