Some people use Om as a mantra... I'm using Tool [among others]
I will be going deep undercover [not really] for a few days. Tomorrow is the third of three live classes for one of my courses this semester [hallelujah and praise the Lord, she cries!], and then after we are going down to my parents [woohoo!]. Saturday, I will have my last long run before the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler [16 days... and counting...]. I will have ten miles. I will try to pace myself. I will try. I will repeat my three mantras under my breath, I keep having dreams, Every movement is an act of faith, and This chance to be alive and breathing* [Frank Turner, Rumi, slightly modified, and Tool - yes, an eclectic mix].
There are other things brewing, but right now, I have a presentation to prepare for, summaries to review, and sleep to be had.
I will see you all on the other side.
* I had a hard time finding a decent video. This one isn't bad, though was mostly listening to audio, not watching [I'm working on that presentation thing]. Plus, who am I kidding? It's the whole song.
Parabola by Tool
We barely remember who or what came
before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now.
Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in
This body. This body holding me. It's my
reminder here that I am not
alone in
This body, this body holding me, we are
eternal
All this pain is an illusion.
Alive, I'm
In this holy reality, in this holy
experience. Choosing to be here in
This body. This body holding me. It's my
reminder here that I am not
alone in
This body, this body holding me, we are
eternal
All this pain is an illusion.
Twirling round with this familiar
parabole.
Spinning, weaving round each new
experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and
celebrate this chance to be alive and
breathing, this chance to be alive and
breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my
own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we
are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.
