I want to be where my feet are
I want to breathe the life around me
I want to listen as my heart beats
Right on time…

Presence: The Original Divine Technology What if Presence wasn’t just a vibe, but divine tech we forgot how to use? Jesus and Rumi ran the same spiritual OS. Hustle culture replaced it with burnout. Time to reinstall the original code.

Your breath isn't a productivity hack. It's the original divine technology.
Before churches, apps, or influencers—there was presence.

Sit down. Shut up. Plug in.

Anyone here have any experience starting, leading, or participating in a #CenteringPrayer group in a #prison setting?

Yes. Life is hard sometimes but you were meant to live it. Learn from the waves. Breathe. You’ve got this. God’s got you. Now go. Live! #centeringprayer #centering #God #good #dogood #dogoodbegood #elevategood #elevatinggood #elevatinggoodpodcast #elevategoodpod

Clock with writing: "Dost thou love life" (above the click face) "Then do not squander time" (below) Green wooden surround, metal clock face with embossed words, "Time and ride tarry for none"

Dear John (12:25), I saw this and thought of you. #CenteringPrayer
Subtext of clock manufacturer... death stalks your every move, so party like it's 1999.
