When you settle into the moment, you realize that there is not much
happening—a few things here and there. The primary awareness is of the
immediacy of the moment. This is because presence being in the now—is
characterized by beingness, simply being here now. In contrast, our
familiar self is based on doing, going, making things happen. We do
not trust that action can arise and proceed from inner stillness; we
do not recognize that Being is the ground of everything. To be in the
now connects you with that quiet beingness that underlies all changes,
all activity—the simple hereness where what is most basic is not
activity but presence.
