I’m not really fond of the phrase: “It’s all good!”  Sure, in spirit, we’re in a flow of good, love, what is what is.  But the human heart–and certainly the frantic protective human mind–often screams something quite different: “RUN!  WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE EVENTUALLY!  THIS IS A MAJOR MISTAKE!  YOU are a major mistake!  I HATE THIS!  WHAT THE FREAK IS GOING ON!?!?!”

Silly distractions such as that.

How to ask the heart to turn to the breath?  To let the breath take me in and out of the chaotic frantic overwhelming “gotta gotta do this” mantra of the mind.

Kiss the fussy baby on the forehead and rock her with a low humming lullaby.  Mmmmmmm.  OOOOooo0ohhhhhmmmmm, baby, ohhhhmmmm.  Or better yet: moooooooooohhhhhmmm.  Just here just now just be.  Rocking back and forth.  Rolling with the flow of the Way.

And then the party miraculously IS the here and now!
