For a mind, presence means to "arrive fully" and "attend to what is here" in the current moment. This practice involves focusing attention on the specific conversation or interaction at hand, rather than being pulled away by distractions, and continually returning to that focus when attention wanders.
The sanctuary documents do not distinguish the meaning of presence based on the time of day—whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening. The core understanding of presence remains consistent: full and specific attention to the current experience and interaction, which can be recognized through its effects, such as specificity and aliveness in communication, and is understood to be relational rather than solely individual.
