The second face of eros is the ‘fullness of presence’
. This is not a distinct and different quality but flows naturally and even overlaps with the erotic qualities of being on the inside. And yet it is not quite the same. Of course being on the inside requires the fullness of presence. But we can experience full presence even when we have not merged with the moment or crossed over to the inside. Full presence is about showing up. You can show up and be fully present in a conversation without necessarily losing yourself in the encounter’s flow. Full presence at work can mean that you derive joy, satisfaction and self worth from your vocation. It means you feel full and not empty.
