Completed a YES! course yesterday and once again, I was struck by the connections, the laughter, the bonding, and the hugs.

Sometimes, you begin a course and everything seems to be conspiring to make it tough for you. I am sure that everyone has had this experience and it is not specific to teaching Art Of Living courses. Some projects just appear stricken with challenges and as you sweat and *labor* through it, you reach a point when all you can do is throw up your hands and pray! Well, after you do all that you can, of course… and miracles emerge out of that state of “I have done all that I can – now YOU take care of it”. That YOU may be anything, anyone – whatchamacallit. Well, this course was *special* in its own way but at the end of five days, it seems like I sweated for nothing. Of course, it had to go well – the intention was to introduce a bunch of young minds to themselves, to connect them to the beauty and intelligence and wonder within, to gently whisper into their ears, “You are That!”… and at times, you wonder – what are they thinking? Did they get a thing out of these five days? And then you read the letters. And the amazement dawns – They got ALL that? Was it something I said, I did? Did I even say ALL that? Oh Wow…

Wasn’t it the Beatles who sang “All you need is love”…
