In general when a child asks me a question, I feel a responsibility to answer their question with good will and honesty. \u00a0“What time is it?” \u00a011:58 I might answer. \u00a0Specifically, when a person asks me a question shortly after I have already answered the question, I can get playful. \u00a0“What time is it?” \u00a0Now, I say. \u00a0Dinner time, I say. \u00a0Daytime, I say.<\/p>\n

\"\"In our time focused culture we give a lot of power to the clock, to the ordering of the world in precise organized ways. \u00a0Time is a real thing. \u00a0We experience ourselves and others aging. \u00a0We watch evolution, dissolution, movement and then overlay time on the top to keep track. \u00a0Time is also a magical and unreal thing. \u00a0How many times have you sworn just a minute elapsed when in creative flow, or binge watching Netflix when many hours may have elapsed according to the clock. \u00a0How many times have you sworn time has stopped still when you are waiting for a difficult experience to be over, or for the light to turn green, or for the proverbial pot to boil. \u00a0Time is also completely made up. \u00a0It really is always right now. \u00a0Period.<\/p>\n

What would it feel like if you entered a relationship with time that felt generous, malleable and supportive? \u00a0What if you truly believed in each moment that you had all the time in the world? \u00a0Can such a relationship be cultivated? \u00a0Even when life is busy? \u00a0Even when facing 5 deadlines?<\/p>\n

How we experience time is similar to how we experience anything else; it is a reflection of our insides reflected from the outside. \u00a0When I am relaxed into right now and what is emerging, rising or being experienced in this moment, I can expand time; and this is not an alteration of the material world or a piece of cheap magic. \u00a0When I tense up to protect myself from time troubles, I shrink my world and time squeezes me tightly in return.<\/p>\n

So the practice is, how to relax into the now, allow reality to be as it is in all the ways it’s showing up, and to welcome the dance between myself and the world. \u00a0No small feat, but it can be done.<\/p>\n

Come find your own anchor in the timeless now. \u00a0Enjoy a life of spaciousness and wonder as everything moves and changes. \u00a0My Relaxing into Wholeness<\/a> retreat starts November 23, 2022. \u00a0More details here.<\/a><\/p>\n
