the good stuff

A few things rocking my yoga boat over the past week:

twice a day naps

more naps

feeling like being in a cocoon

serendipitous moments

sitting with babaji

copal incense

ganesha & hanuman adorned daily with flowers

taking self portraits

the joy that comes from doing nothing

twice a day meditation

waking to the sound of chanting

going to bed to the sounds of nature

witnessing the beautiful yoga teacher a past student has become

delicious silent meals while sitting outside under a tree

reconnecting with students from mexico training over

the feeling of happiness finding me

picking strawberries from a garden and eating them under the umbrella of a weeping willow tree

nooks outside in nature with amazing views

walks down country roads where grapes are growing everywhere I look

goodbyes

and hellos

adventures with public transportation

greeting grace

exquisite bathrooms

feelings of anticipation

yoga with oooh's and ahhh's, smiles, bopping and swaying

longing for Andy and the big blue house

a room with widows galore, rugs, and a bed of pillows

seeing beautiful faces, exchanging hugs

excitement abound

seated on the floor, soaking up being a student

a video that nearly made me a weepy mess

aha's coming fast and furious

realizing there is enough of everything

a cold beer after a long day that whizzed by with whirl

communal cooking and meals and music and delicious conversation

settling in and knowing you're one lucky girl

cause tomorrow you get to do it all over again.
