Yoga Wisdom - Honor your Body

~ Daily wisdom from Yoga 365 - Susanna Harwood Rubin


Your body is your means of access to the world.  It is through your boy that you experience sight, sound, touch , smell, and taste.  Your body is made up of countless complex systems that collaborate to enable you to move, to laugh, and to experience pleasure.
Honor your boy by treating these systems with respect and awe.  Honor your body's needs by committing to exercise, good grooming habits, and healthy eating.  Love your body despite its limitations.  Choose to embrace the challenges of living in an embodied state.
Honor your body.

I try to be a nice person.  I follow rules (mostly) and do what is expected of me.  At work, I always complete tasks I am expected to complete in a timely manner.  I have always been the responsible one.  Sometimes circumstances put me in a position where no matter what I do, only fault is found.  This is the most frustrating position to be in. Especially if you were put in that position deliberately so that you would fail.

At what point does it become impossible to see the bright side?  When does one just hang it up and join the dark side?  The bad guys seem to keep winning while the good guys struggle to keep up.

I have believed for some time now that things tend to work out, eventually.  How you behave will come back to get you.  Karma sets things straight.  Lately, I have had my doubts about this.  I will be doing just fine, being positive and waiting for things to turn out well and boom, self doubt hits.  Followed closely by self pity and a touch of envy.

Things will work out.  I have faith that it will.  The perfect job will come along, hopefully before I'm flat broke.  In the meantime I will kill with kindness and keep my sense of humor.

Invisible

You do not see me come in, nor do you notice when I've left.
Effects of my presence fade away.
Memories do not linger.
In no time it is as if I were not there at all.
Seeing, hearing, feeling.
Lingering.
Forgotten.

Hens and Chicks



Formally known as a Houseleek, hens and chicks are a common succulent.  Easy to grow in loose, sandy soil and even on rocks.

They represent love and abundance.

Nature's Glitter

I experienced the most unusual phenomenon this morning.  My office is across the street from the river.  This morning, like a lot of mornings, there was fog on our road.  What was unusual about this morning is that it was around 20 degrees outside (Fahrenheit).  When I got out of my car I noticed sparkles around me.  It was mostly noticeable when looking towards the sun.  The fog was frozen!  It was the most amazing thing.  When I moved to a better position it looked like silver glitter floating all around me.  I tried to get a picture, but it wouldn't come out on a regular phone camera.

Sometimes nature gives you the most unexpected beauty.

Hibernation

I spent the whole weekend inside.  Picked up any necessities on the way home from work Friday afternoon so I did not have to leave the house all weekend.  It has been warm, cozy, and lazy.  I have to go out tomorrow for work, but for the last 48 hours + I remained indoors avoiding weather in the teens.
