“If you were conscious, that is to say totally present in the Now, all negativity would dissolve almost instantly. It could not survive in your presence.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

“Always hold fast to the present. Every situation, indeed every moment, is of infinite value, for it is the representative of a whole eternity.”
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers."
~Thich Nhat Hanh
Wishing Everyone a Happy Monday!
