My little Dharma

So I decided to try this thing where I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed and say, "Okay Guru (which is what a usually call God) I am not going to move until you move me." In other words, I decided I would wait to get out of bed until a reason to act emerged from my heart. A reason that has nothing to do with my ego. So not "get out of bed to drink coffee",or "get out of bed to go to work and make money etc...". I would not move until a selfless, pure reason made itself know.
So I did. I said, "Guru, I am not going to move until you move me." I waited for a long time.  I waited, and waited, and waited, and waited and waited. Nothing happened so I waited some more. All of a sudden my bedroom door flew open and there was my 8 year old  daughter in her Polly Pocket nightgown looking madder than Kali Ma and yelling at me because I had let her over sleep and she was going to be late for school and today was community sing day!
I thought, "Okay universe I get it. She is my heart, my responsibility, my reason to get out of bed each morning. Thank you for reminding me."
I didn't know dharma could be so darn cute!

Try it sometime and see what your heart tells you!

That is a gorgeous little story. I have an 8 month old girl and I gotta say, I never thought it was possible to love somebody so much. Nature sure knows what she's doing :-)
