Let it Happen.........Let it go..........

With so little time between deployment goodbyes I was caught a bit off guard this morning moving through my Vinyasa class.  The tears came......... a few at first but by the time Shavasana hit, and I looked up at the ceiling fans before closing my eyes (ceiling fan, trigger for me) it was all over.  I laid there as long as I could, sucking up my tears before pulling myself up to a nice seated lotus position where I demanded my vulnerable self to STOP CRYING BEFORE THE CLASS ENDS AND EVERYONE CAN SEE YOU.  It didn't work.  The tears kept falling and before I knew it they were sitting there atop my dark blue sticky mat for everyone to see.  They had completely bypassed my shirt.  How does THAT happen?  My tears didn't even have the decency to absorb into the thick mat  fabric dammit.  They were just SITTING there, staring at me.   I was reminded of a mantra I was given when being instructed on how to teach meditation to specific populations by a mindfulness mentor.   "Let it happen.......................let it go....................................... So I let it happen, and then  I let it go in the park with a nice long run with my husband,  post Vinyasa flow.
Let it happen..........................let it go................ then Begin Again tomorrow.
