Someone recently asked me how to live with grace when the world feels like it is "spinning out of control".  There are all kinds of things we can do to stay centered and tuned into the Silent Center... but nobody said it would be easy.

Remember, my friends, to start each day with an attitude of gratitude... not in a superficial way, but genuinely take a look at the wonders that you've been graced with..yes, even in times of crisis. Perhaps especially then.

Sit in silence for  few minutes.  Feel gratitude for this experience of being a part of this beautiful planet Earth.

Do yoga or tai-chi and appreciate the flexibility and strength that you have today.  Dance.  Sing.  Play an instrument.  Do some gardening.  Create art.  Create beauty. Be kind.  And when you take political action - do it from a place of love.

Schedule a session with me if you feel the need of some guidance.  Drawing strength from each other is a good thing.  Don't be afraid to ask for help when you feel the need... and then, when you feel ready, pass it on.

That's how this works.
