One Apple A Day #310
Presence.
Observe a kid, or even a toddler when she is playing.
She is fully immersed in the here and now.
Her game is the only thing that exists in the world.
There is no time.
No space.
Yet, she’s fully alert.
She feels what happening around.
And she can quickly change the target of her attention.
Always being fully present in the here and now.
That is freedom to me.
Freedom is not doing what I want whenever I want.
It’s not the absence of bosses or duty.
Freedom is the ability to fully experience what I’m doing.
To be in the moment with everything I am.
Aware of the inner and the outer world.
So, aware that through me they become one.
It is that state of flow when time and space doesn’t exist.
There is no future with its fears, no past with its guilt and shame.
My quest for freedom is a search for presence.
