Today was good.
Things did not necessarily go good.
Things were not really bad.
It was just... good.
I had a moment that really anchored the day, though it happened late. I found myself in the presence of one of my greatest conditioned responses. I felt "OMG! here we go again" arise. I felt my body begin to move to leave. Then I stopped.
A small voice "what is the big deal? Do you really need to run away from this?". So I settled in, tuned in , listened and engaged.
Nothing happened to changed the trigger mechanism. The pushing element continued. I just put aside the button.
The moment and reality that I thought I "knew" so well were transformed, from the only place that it could be. It shifted, because I shifted.
The moment, in one sense was exactly what it had always been. But in the sense that I experience it was transformed. Simply, subtly, profoundly.
It was a good day.
