ART: Practice of Presence

Why is it so easy to be present?

I have felt like I was in a constant delay around spending time in my studio and making progress on the What If God... Dome Project. Something sparked a clarity that I am grateful for. I am in the right time, all the time and especially right now. This simple clarity brought me present to the fact that I can be present to THIS phase and let it be a strong foundation for the phases to come.

I want to share what this pre-fulltime phase might look like.
