It’s all good.  I have a remarkable life.  I know this.  I recognize this.  But when my work life collapses into itself, when programs are back-to-back, when I don’t think I have enough “decompression” time, it feels like too much.

I get a little wonky.

Wonky?  Yes, that’s the technical term.

I get a little scared.  Then I get a little cranky.  Then I get a little tired.  Then I want to check out.

Right, wonky.

But it’s all good.  And when I just relax into each moment, I don’t have to leap ahead to next week’s program, or yesterday’s issues.

Just to stay right where I am–to snuggle into this perfect moment, no matter what it is giving me–and it always is beyond-manageable.

If I were complaining, I would be lying.

And you?

Really.  Sometimes it just feels like too much.  I have several big projects hovering around my head.  The Monday-Project is clammering for my attention, but it’s only Thursday, which takes me away from the Thursday-Project.  The Monday-Night-Project wants email responses.

It all feels like too much.  Stop the world.  Wasn’t that a Broadway song?  “Stop the World–I Want to Get Off”?

I tried that for about twenty years.  It didn’t work.

Here is what I know: as I stay right here, RIGHT NOW, the moment is spacious, generous, and delicious.  As i worry about the Mondays and the Tuesdays and all their moments, I am lost in space.

Okay–my commitment.  Here it is:  I choose Now.
