Seeking Meaning

This image is from early afternoon Yesterday, where my Sunday included yoga and sun and ended with somewhat of a freak motorcycle accident (almost posted that photo but thought I'd spare you for now) that has me asking myself where the lesson is in all of this.

My teacher reminds me often to find the guru in all forms, in all things. I am looking down at my bandaged leg that sometimes allows just about 50 percent of weight on the side of trauma: and while my mind is healthy, I'm finding difficulty in all of this at the moment.

I KNOW that everything will be fine but as a yogi friend of mine once shared with me; right now, it's not.

While in this moment I am experiencing difficulty, I am present enough to recognize that there is in a fact something deeper here that I need to see... I'm still working that out though. I also recognize that its in this moment  where opportunity rests; that I can bring forth the grace of a woman and practitioner of yoga and step up and REALLY be a teacher to those around me.

I find no irony in that tomorrow night (Tuesday), I will be attending the "Changing the World One OM at a Time" event for the Cambodian's Children's Fund where I have been blessed and given the honor to share Bhakti, the Yoga of Devotion, with all who will graciously donate their time and money to this cause where there is real trauma and tragedy.

So it's 830 pm and while I write this with a heavy heart, it is with the belief that collectively, in a few areas, the calling of my life is here to be the guru that my own teacher speaks so fondly of... the time is now that I sit and be with the underlying current as I breathe, meditate and listen to that guru.

With Bhakti,
Sanieh
