The best way to do....

"The best way to do.... is to be," - Lao Tzu

A quote I often come back too. Thinking about what it means, practicing what it says, and sometimes being blessed enough to actually live it..feel it... be it.....This can happen in a moment or series of moments.

Teaching a 3 hour Master Vinyasa Class for the benefit of a charity that helps children born with heart defects was one of those moments. Time stopped, love entered and a powerful presence and awareness touched all.

Recently attending a friend's wake was another of those moments. He was an older man who had lived a long life serving others through his teaching and love of Judo. Many fellow Judo players came. I had not seen many in years and none of us knew what to say. Nevertheless, the spirit of our departed gentle warrior brought us together. Time stopped, love entered and a powerful presence and awareness touched all.

Practicing martial art mudras with my young son early this morning was yet another of those moments. His focus and willingness to learn brought us both to the moment. Time stopped, love entered and a powerful presence and awareness touched us.

Your moments are there for the taking. We are always "doing" something. So consumed with the bus-i-ness of life we forget the moments of life .

Take your moments as an opportunity to "be". Let time stop and love enter. The powerful presence and awareness you feel will transform your life.

Light and Love,
