Writings by the

Presence Walkabout Community

May each heart open

May each mind become still

May each body breathe

Freely and fully.

May we beat the heartbeat

Of the world

May we listen to the stories

Calling to be dreamed into being.

May we breathe life into

New patterns & possibilities.

For ourselves, our Work

For all our loved ones, all our Relations

For all sentient beings, all Life.

May we come more fully into our place

Within the whole of Life

Where gifting and being gifted

Loving and being loved

Stillness and movement

Are one.

May we become Presence

Portals for Compassion, Wisdom and Grace.
