As a witness I am often reminded of the beauty and intensity of what it is to be human. I am brought so fully to the moment, body and consciousness here and now, available to what is being offered. The turn of a hand, the sound of wind in tree, breath moving in, out. I am grateful to be allowed to see. Grateful to be silent and grateful to express. This experience of being with another, allowing my inner eye to rest open and to truly be with what is - this is the sweetest gift life has offered. The teachers on my path have guided me to awareness of this potential we all possess, and through these traditions I hope to extend the same. Your own inner witness is the most important friend you will have.
