My personal sense of presence that I kind of carry around with me is along the lines of Somebody has to be there first before acting. The more one is there, the better the results in whatever youre doing more precision, subtlety, relevanceand much less dispersion and depletion. When you watch someone who is good at this, you can sometimes feel like theyre actually stretching out the walls of possibility in a given situation, literally creating open space. Much of this comes only through time and experience, eventual understanding that how one does something, not the specifics of action, is what impacts others most.
