Practice

That's what I need right now... is just practice. There's so much in that statement and most of it has nothing to do with asana.

I realized tonight how much I actually like being alone. I like eating dinner alone. I like that I don't have to plan my time. When I'm traveling, it's always about managing time. I'm wherever I'm at for a reason and that means I spend my time figuring out what is on my plate for the next day and making sure I'm ready the night before. It's like working on steroids because I juggle so many balls. It's a hard pace to keep up. I like when I'm home that I feel like I can take two hours for yoga and work throughout the day.

I did my whole practice today without feeling like I want to kill myself. I'm frustrated that I can no longer seem to jump through. It is good to be frustrated with something of the sort for awhile.

One of the wierd things about interacting with other human beings is that fine line of boundary that we have in all relationships. I've seen it happen, but rarely, when a sibling relationship or a love relationship really had a no boundaries essence.. usually, at some point, most of us close up. It's interesting to watch the boundaries, not only yours but others, and see how they impact your perception of reality. Sometimes, you can see something in a relationship of someone in your world that maybe you shouldn't see... I've watched a couple of those today. It's been an interesting day.

Jai Hanuman.

Comments

Well I really wanted to comment on the later entry but in any case, I found myself resonating with your thought about being alone. I have always found great comfort in being alone. It has always been an opportunity for me to be in a calm, quiet space where the other is really just a concept. The other thing I was drawn into were your word about the boundaries that exist in every relationship. This concept used to make me very sad as a child and a young adult. I mean REALLY sad. The fundamental alone-ness. I remember struggling with this and talking or rather trying to talk to Tim about it... but I hit a boundary. I think I have come to believe that there is a fundamental boundary but most of the boundaries that I experience day to day are really not as fixed as I think them to be. I have been trying to break some of these down. I think I only ever posted one or two blog entries and one of them is about this. Glad you are bloging again.
