The Kindness of Presence

My new book, The Kindness of Presence, is out now and Available from Amazon (eBook and paperback) or from the Quaker Bookshop at Friends House, London (high quality paperback edition).

Here's a quote:

"How can we let go of unkind thoughts and judgments? How can we forgive those who hurt us? How can we live not to serve our own selfish interests, but for the good of the Whole? This is where presence comes in. It is only when we are present that we can choose to be kind. When we are present, we can draw on the guidance and inspiration of Presence. Rather than react unconsciously, fighting ego in others from a place of ego in ourselves, we can be alert to the promptings of love and truth within. When we are guided by those promptings, the entire picture changes... Kindness can flow through us... We can be a loving presence in the world."
