What separates mere availability from true presence?

In an age of endless connectivity and constant noise, the essence of presence often fades into the background. This third issue of UNWIND delves into the subtle yet profound difference between occupying space and engaging with awareness, intention, and depth.

Through thought-provoking reflections, evocative stories, heartfelt poems, and mindful activities, this collection invites a quiet exploration of what it truly means to be there—not just in body, but in spirit and attention.

A gentle companion for those seeking meaning beyond motion and connection beyond convenience.
