Wandering Mind

It's January 6 and I'm sitting here writing this with the window open... Go figure.

Try to think about your toes without thinking the word toe.

Try thinking about the parts of your toe without thinking any words that deal with your toe.

Now try to get that voice quiet that's telling you not to use any words while you're thinking about your toes.

Dude, Shut the hell up.

I don't think I realized that I think in words as much as I do. I don't do it all the time, especially when I let the subconscious mind take over but when the words start flowing in my brain its hard to turn them off. I have attached a label to everything and to try to think about that thing without it's label is next to impossible. Should be an interesting challenge.

Well, this global warming is going to make a mess of the world but it sure made it pretty today. 70 degrees in the middle of winter. L and I went out for a stroll in the country soaking up the sun and the breeze. Quick trip to the grocery and then cozied up together with all the windows open and just smelled the fresh air blowing through. And once again we practiced together so that's 5 of the last 6 days. I'm 6 for 6 so far and I always seem to be looking forward to the next practice. It would be fun to keep practicing together up to the baby being born and then even continuing after that. I think the weather boosted L's energy today. We walked a little farther than usual and she kicked up her practice a bit. I guess when you've got a baby pushing all your guts up to where your lungs are supposed to be it makes it a little hard for you to breath and wears you out a bit. oh, yeah, that reminds me... I ate a little too close to my practice today and it made it uddiyana bandha kind of difficult.

Yeah, it's nice out but we really need a good, long freeze. The plants and bugs don't have a clue as to what's going on and the ones that we need to get killed off in the winter won't (ticks and mosquitoes) and the others will starve to death like our honey bees. I put sugar water out for them today but I don't know if any of them used it. I hate to say this but I wish we would get a good cold snap...
