The key is to relax

Reading from Wednesday, May 22, 2013 yoga class

"Fundamental richness is available in each moment.  The key is to relax: relax to a cloud in the sky, relax to a tiny bird with gray wings, relax to the sound of the telephone ringing.  We can see the simplicity in things as they are.  We can smell things, taste things, feel emotions, and have memories.  When we are able to be there without saying, "I certainly agree with this," or "I definitely don't agree with that," but just be here very directly, then we find fundamental richness everywhere.  It is not ours or theirs but is available always to everyone.  In raindrops, in blood drops, in heartache and delight, this wealth is the nature of everything.  It is like the sun in that it shines on everyone without discrimination."
