Conscious shared presence asks something slightly different of us. I remain here—embodied, differentiated, distinctly myself—and at the same time I allow my awareness to include you and the space arising between and among us. We don't disappear into one another. In fact, perhaps the opposite happens. As each of us becomes more fully present, there is more of us available to the whole. And then something interesting becomes possible. I may begin to perceive what I could not perceive alone—not because the other person gives me an answer, but because our being together changes what can be noticed.
