The weather last weekend for my first outdoor park class was causing me so much stress! The forecast kept changing. Should I have class or cancel it? What was the “right” answer?

My anxiety was sky high on my drive down to the park. There were so many unknowns.

But then I had a moment of clarity. I trusted that I would meet the moment. My mind couldn’t plan my way out of the anxiety. I’d just show up and see what unfolded.

5 people showed up in the rain. There’s construction on the pavilion, so we couldn’t have class there.

But with Presence, creative possibilities came forward. I offered for people to come to my house for class. Or I offered that we go for a meditative walk in the light drizzle.

We ended up going for a walk, and the rain stopped. We chanted Sa, Ta, Na, Ma while walking in step together. We traced the geometry of the paths in the center of the park. It was magical, perfect…and completely unplanned and unexpected.

So far, you’ve met the moment EVERY moment you’ve lived so far. You’re here, aren’t you?!?

Trust that you can continue to meet the moment. I believe in you.
