Not sure what they are good for.  Maybe expecting the unexpected, accepting the expectations being way off.  All plans are a gamble.  What an ongoing practice it is to just gently set a foot down, lean into it with my weight and pick up the other foot in anticipating of it going somewhere next.

Tai chi stepping.  One step at a time–not even 12 steps, but one.

When I’m so used to planning a dance for others, keeping focus on just. my. next. step. is a combination of release, surrender and absolute rest  in the nothingness of right here. right now.  Clicking keys.  Crows.  Colorful afghan. Cozy morning.  Gentle rain.

Loving Pema’s note today: The trick is not getting caught in hope and fear…just go forward with curiosity, wondering where this experiment will lead.

Adventure.
