I want to introduce you tonight to a very dear friend, who I've known for a very long time,

who is not only a dear friend, but also a fabulous musician and a yoga teacher and a healer,

and she's going to be playing some flute at our closing meditation.

So a call-dev welcome here and thank you so much for being here.

A call-dev Sharon is with us tonight, thank you.

So if you reflect in your life on the moments that were real epiphanies,

the moments that were really special or meaningful, that really stand out for you,

and just sense what inside you made that moment possible.

So moments, and you might even sense in this last week or two,

if there was any moment that really was just a compelling moment.

One of those, like if you looked back at the end of your life, okay,

so this was a meaningful moment.

And you ask yourself, really what made it possible?

Now might have been a moment of tenderness or awa, liveliness.

The common denominator for us in these moments where we're not just on our way somewhere,

or leaving somewhere, but really the moments is a quality of attention.

There's a quality of presence where in no way are we trying to make something different.

There's no resistance.

There's in some way in those moments we're at home.

It's we're just fully here for them.

And in contrast, have you noticed how many moments we really are on our way to a future?

That there's a sense and idea that we're living in of where we are now,
