Fully Present – v2

Morrie was right,
Julie knows –
We need to be fully present.
Intense, feeling

Letting raw emotion come,
Being fully honest
Not holding back
Being vulnerable, truly

Making eye contact
Active listening, hearing
Open and vulnerable
Sharing and risk taking

See things clearly
Speak out fully
Being frank and demanding
In being fully present

in the healing of listening

prayer in our presence
being truly with one another
sharing our lives complete
simply being with them

in the healing of listening
unconditional, acceptance
compassion for the other
for all the people in our lives

offering presence
the healing of grace
by simple sharing with them
moments of our days

in sorrow, in discerning
healing with our being
simple silent with them

in the silence of listening

something holy, a presence
the healing, the power
in the silence of listening
being with someone
totally there
offering them love
healing in our compassion
being fully human
shedding the masks
leaving us naked
ourselves before God

Morrie was right,
Julie knows –
Be fully present.
Intense, feeling
Raw, honest
Eye contact
Listening, hearing
Open and vulnerable
