The "Just Right" Feeling of Nailing It
I (Diana) love to "get it right." Not in a perfectionist way, but I enjoy that terrific feeling of nailing it that comes with a rush of YES! energy.
I felt it today when, after a time of wishing and washing about a course outline (OK, that's probably not what the idiom means, but my earlier ideas had felt a bit "wishy-washy!") When I finally put together a program design that I liked, there was a feeling of "That's it, I've nailed it!" Of course it will go through changes and refinements, and I may even fall into wishy-washy territory again, but for that moment, at least, I'd gotten it just right. And I liked the feeling.
You are probably familiar with that feeling, in the same or different ways. Maybe when you get a note just right in music, or in painting, or solved a problem. Or when you've cleaned a closet or the kitchen. Or settled into a "just right" place in meditation.
I experience it often in a Scrabble-type phone game called Words With Friends. When I combine letters in an interesting and high scoring way, there's a jolt of delight that charges through my system. It's the reason I play - for that feeling of nailing it. It doesn't mean the game is over and has nothing to do with winning. (I do recognize that such enjoyable jolts can be addictive and distract me from other important activities - see my essay on Soduko or Sex - and so I limit my time on the game. Yet I also appreciate the pleasure!)
What I want to share with you here is that this coming together of the letters (or numbers) in a "just right" way is similar to what I experience with my beloved husband Richard in our daily practice of Peaceful Passion! This is our time to bring exquisite focus to our shared naked presence, and when that occurs, there is an overwhelmingly wonderful feeling of "Yes, this is just right!" We've nailed it.
There's a YES! energy that touches our souls, makes our hearts sing and our bodies quiver.
