I wasn't planning to ask him a question.  It was the end of day one of a two day meditation retreat with Anam Thubten and people started lining up to ask him their personal questions.  "If you want to ask him a practice question, now is the time," urged the woman next to me.  She had been part of the community for years.  I clearly looked hesitant.  "Don't be shy, this is your chance."  Ok Universe.  I hear you. I said to myself.  It's always like that.  I'm stubborn, and the Universe keeps nudging me along until it's blatantly apparent and then I give up on digging in my heels and walk.
