Just like that, awake again
Just like that, the blog is awake again. I tried to move servers and upgrade versions last spring and found I couldn’t import my posts. Sadness reigned, and my efforts thwarted, I tabled it. Then, yesterday morning, I had an epiphany, untangled the threads, and got the blog back up again!
This morning was my weekly Ashtanga yoga class. It was a strenuous and expanding class, and I felt renewed and light and I eased into a deep relaxation during Sivasana. Just when I had melted away into a near doze, a cell phone rang out a ridiculous digital tune, and Just like that, I was awake again. But beautifully, what crossed my face not a frown, but a big grin and a cascade of laughter. Most of the rest of the class did the same. It was the perfect ending to a perfect class… I hope it’s easy to understand why. Yoga is a brief respite from the chaos, and a chance to cultivate the focus, patience, and disengagement to deal with the world the rest of the time. The phone was that world creeping in, the unwelcome guest welcome again.

I have exhausted all avenues…Please can you direct me to a source where I can find a pattern for the Sunrise Circle Jacket. It is no longer posted on the interweave site, and I am unable to find a copy of the magazine it was published in…any suggestions

What a lovely story. Reminds me that I haven’t gotten to a yoga class in months. I’ll have to make the effort- I could use a respite from some of the chaos in my life. Hope things are good with you my dear. let’s catch up on the phone sometime. xo
