You know that moment, when you lose your sunglasses? You're looking around for them, and looking around for them. Suddenly someone comes up and says, "What are you looking for?", and you say, "My sunglasses. I love them, and I can't find them anywhere." Then, that someone says, very gently, "Excuse me, they're on top of your head."
You feel embarrassed, perhaps, and they say, "Happens to everyone. Aren't you just glad that you didn't lose them, after all?" And you realize that you are glad. You thank them. Disaster averted...all through the calm observation of someone, not caught up in the disaster. That's what I do. I love telling people that they haven't lost whatever it is that they think they've lost. It is a joy, helping folks remember that they have always had what they thought they'd lost. All healing is the remembering that we are already (always) whole. I get to help people remember that they are already (always) whole. Nothing missing. Nothing extra. Whole and perfect, as they are. Pretty cool, eh?
