Up for air, briefly...
20 April 2008
It is already a month later.
I've been busy rearranging my life to accommodate my new teaching schedule, imminent, having accepted teaching three classes a week at a lovely studio.
Learning slowly the tai chi form from a through instructor, beginning regular practice with another yogini living nearby, my child and I happily busy with the trips and events shared with nearby homeschool friends and friends on other loops. Keeping in surprisingly good contact with my dear friend despite everything, and over the last week able to actually begin showing up to usual events again as if life might be returning to normal, or something similar. What a concept!
Spent the intervening month (where has time gone?!) beginning the changes planned for bringing life in line with my needs, keeping reverberations from my retreat (nice to discover when I’m by myself I’m still myself… great discovery, after so many years tending to the needs of others), and still enjoying my yoga students, incredible people, and teaching these marvelous, aware, insightful, intelligent people continues to be a deep joy and satisfaction. If only everyone could love their jobs as much as I love mine!
Finally got to tour the orchid cave with the rest of the orchid society- intended to for the last dozen years, just did it today, child photographer in tow, opting for this rather than the car show with his dad. The grower’s publicist requested several of his photos for their website. He is so happy.
Days are just too short to comfortably hold all the good things that come into them…
