I'd love more of these along the same lines - interested in if he tells Wilson..

Thanks. I don't know what exactly the "story" will be next -- this one just kind of grew out of the first drabble -- but I'll keep that under consideration.

This is great. Love the structure -- really resonates with each section. I think "Santosa" is my favorite, with the comment about House's favorite team being "whoever's playing the Indians" and with the subtle comparison of the pitcher on the mound with himself at Wilson's place. Those last two lines set up the rest of the story with House knowing he can't be as "at home" at Wilson's/with Wilson as he'd like. Also "Svadhyaya," sad without descending into emo or angst. I'd definitely look forward to that companion piece you mention in your notes.

Glad you liked it. I got an email from my yoga instructor the day after the drabble challenge was posted. The email included the yamas and niyamas and I thought: Hmm. Five of each. Interesting.

I loved this. I think I'll love it more when I re-read it tomorrow. At the moment I can't think of anything much worthwhile to say about it. (I've been up for . . . 25 hours now.) I can say this: They definitely work, and I would be filled with joy if you wrote that related series. *g*

Thanks, and pleasant dreams.

I like it very much.

House’s favorite team was whoever was playing the Indians. That resonates with me, and probably will with many people. (I being a mild Red Sox fan, and therefore also a fan of everyone who plays the Yankees.)

That aside, I like the flow of this piece, as well of the choice of the link. It's peaceful, a feeling one doesn't generally associate with House.

Thank you. I was afraid the sanskrit would scare people off, but it was a chance to combine two elements of my life -- though of course baseball is the focus. (I was just glad to see the Tigers take two out of three from the White Sox this week so the White Sox fan in the office would shut up for a while.)

What I want to say... anonymous July 22 2006, 21:16:17 UTC

Dear Namaste,

your fics are saving my live. And no, I´m not a drama queen. In Europe we have a heat wave. We have since a few days a temperature above 38 C
(I know the people in the Sahra are laughing at us. But its not common in our country. In my country it rains in Summer!)

I can´t do anything. Can´t write, can´t work (I took free time), feeling like shit. My body is slowing down, problems with my heart-beat.

Since the heat wave hit us, I have only one thing done: Read your fic. They help me to keep me sane. (and believe me I´m going insane) They helped to pass the time, till evening. You don´t know how important that is. Thank you very much. I appreciate every fic from you!

Greetings
Maria

Nasty. That's about 100 degrees F, I believe. I'm glad to provide even a small way to cope (writing for me has become a way to cope with the waiting until the next season starts). It gets hot here, but generally we're more equipped for it with AC and such. I know when I've been in France and Italy during hot days, there weren't even fans available. Hang in there.
