I was lying on my back with 20 other meditators listening to the soothing voice of our facilitator as he led us into the present moment. A fly landed on my arm. I instinctively raised my arm to get him away, but of course he returned. I didn’t want to spend the whole session waving my arms in the air so I decided to allow the annoyance in instead of pushing it away. I concentrated on the feel of the little legs on my arm which may have done more to bring me into the present moment than the meditation being led by our teacher.
