Wandering Mind

Well we’re off and running in the semester and at this point it’s just about keeping the head above water and the work out of the home.  Classes are good.  I actually got all the students up on the grid.  I was kind of surprised… usually one in five will avoid going up if asked to go up individually.   The show is fine if things would stop changing but Purchasing has put a serious crimp in our ability to buy things quickly; which is somewhat of a necessity in this business.  And of course the top of the semester also has thousands of little things that need to happen for people and for some reason most of them fall to me…

Practice was good this morning.  One of my students came in to join me and I think she wants to start coming in every day, which is fine by me.  The company sometimes makes it easier to get through.  We also helped each other out in Supta Kurmasana.  With help she was able to bind and she was able to get me closer to binding than I have ever been.  Next time I’m going to have her push my knees toward my shoulder with her feet.  My shoulders are too tight for smaller people to try to be gentle.  But it still felt incredible when I came out.  

And once again it was beautiful coming in this morning.  The sliver of a crescent moon in a clear dark blue sky.  The snow crunches under my feet as I walk to the car. And as I drive in, the clouds on the horizon go from a dark gray to having just the slightest hint of rose, I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me when I first noticed it.  I don’t know if I’ve ever noticed dawn coming so subtly.
