1) Being in the present has a distinct "feel" to it that you can actually experience, it is not just a state of mind or mental concept. It's where time seems to slow down, everything goes in slow-motion, where thoughts stop and there is this deafening stillness all around, where every leaf that moves seems to be following some intelligent pattern, doing its individual dance within the universal dance, where every tiny little thing suddenly has profound meaning and significance, where self-consciousness temporarily disappears and the joy of existence shines forth. "Intensely happy to be alive" summarizes it pretty well
I agree. this description is what I experience also. I am enjoying this.

2) I am. Here, there, up, down, you, that, are all me. I am. I am perfect as I am. I am a spiritual being among spiritual beings which are all one. How could anything be ugly - it is all beautiful.
