Henri Nouwen wrote: "God’s presence is so much beyond the human experience of being together that it quite easily is perceived as absence. God’s absence, on the other hand, is often so deeply felt that it leads to a new sense of God’s presence."

Before listening to the opening music, spend a few minutes listening to the sounds around you, becoming present wherever you are joining us from.
"All that is needed for wholeness, for freedom, is in the now", as Richard Rohr says.
Then, when you are ready, listen to this opening piece of music with the same sense of listening presence and attentiveness.
