The mind creates the abyss. The heart crosses over it.-Sri Nisargadatta
Happy
Thanks-giving Day!
I
wake feeling gratitude for so many things.
For
the rays of sunlight shining on the frosty hillside, for the warmth
of the woodstove, for the meal I will enjoy with friends later today. I
am grateful my sister and her kids will be with our mother today. I am grateful for waking into this body that I can move and
experience life through...and to my bodyworker friend yesterday who
said I have a 'dynamic body' and an 'adaptable system,' even in the
context of how jacked-up it was!
I
am grateful for my friends, old and new, for our laughter and
adventures, for accepting me as I am with all of my charms and
challenges (Thank you, Corina B, for that phrase!).
I
am grateful for my students, their willingness to participate in
their yoga journey and for the gratitude they have expressed to me
for being their teacher. I am so grateful for yoga, for the practice
of connecting awareness, breathing, and non-judgment. It has allowed
me to be more comfortable in my own skin, to experience the waves of
life more intimately, to feel more connected and whole.
"To be intimate is to feel the silence, the space everything is happening in." -Adyashanti
I
am grateful to my human heart, that it beats in my chest and drives
me to be more authentic and compassionate. I am grateful that I
longer fear having my heart broken again.
And eternal gratitude for feel of
the Beloved dancing in my chest.
Wisdom tells me I am nothing.Love tells me I am everything.Between the two my life flows.-Sri Nisargadatta
Blessing
to everyone,
I
love you.
