Going back out there to your ordinary life now that the workshop is over, I know you’ll find gifts from being here. Some of them you are already aware of, and others just emerge. You discover yourself being different in certain ways – not just in how you express yourself when you are being intimate, but in all kinds of very ordinary situations too – like being able to hear what somebody is saying that is difficult for you to hear instead of arguing against it, because you’ve learned how to breathe with it, receive it and and make friends with what it touches in you. For me this is the everyday, moment-to-moment meditation of life. It’s especially valuable to remember this when the going gets tough. OK, watch how your ego wants to react, and instead, breathe. Embrace what you are experiencing!
