It’s been an incredibly intense day. From the moment I woke up it’s been hectic. I’ve been hectic. Stress. Work. Too much. .

Around sunset we get food at a Surinamese place right next to the studio and the baby is CRAZY. So wild. I can’t sit down for one second. She runs around and tries to get into the kitchen and wants to go behind the bar and touch everything she’s not allowed to touch and shrieks when I tell her no. We get the food to go and Dennis takes her home and I’m sticking around for a meditation class at the studio with @cosmicchristine who’s visiting. I have 30 minutes before class starts and warm food in my hands and the sun is setting and the temperature is perfect outside and I’m longing for, no, I’m craving peace. I’m craving it so bad I’m almost crying. I just want to sit down in a corner of the garden all my myself and eat my food in silence and breathe. But I don’t have a lot of time, you see, because class is starting and I have things to do before then. So I grab my stuff and put it on a plate and rush to get everything together and get a glass of water and in my mind I’m thinking peace peace peace give me peace I’m on my way peace and going out the door I stumble. And I drop the glass and in slow motion it hits the floor and smashes all across the corridor outside our shala. Where people walk barefoot every day. So instead of eating in the garden I spend 20 minutes picking up glass with my fingers because I can’t find the broom because even though this is my yoga studio I don’t know where anything is. I have only a second to eat so I gulp it up quickly and I’m so frustrated and sad about losing the moment but then I hear Ram Dass in the back of my head from a talk I listened to yesterday; “So here we all are”. And it stops me in my tracks. Yes. Here I am. Right here. Stressing to find calm. Rushing my way toward peace. Forgetting that peace is HERE, NOW. Not over there, in some make-believe moment where I’ll have everything figured out and orchestrated in a perfect way. Peace is HERE. In me. What’s in the way IS the way. .

I sit down and look up and this sky happens. Everything is quiet. I close my eyes. I’m here. .

Now.
