Today I leave on a ridiculously long vacation, culminating eventually with a week in the Colorado mountains (poor me!) I am excited but I realize how attached I am to my little routines and, especially, to having a certain amount of control over my day ( an illusion I know, but an illusion that I cherish.) On this vacation I will not be driving and I am not in charge!!!! My intention is to let go and go with the flow ( not my habitual approach to life.) It will be interesting to see how I manage to integrate my daily meditation and weekly asana practice into this adventure. I see how even being too attached to those healthy routines can prevent real freedom. I will miss you and our beautiful yoga studio and our beautiful yoga teacher. Along with my love I will try to send you a cool pine-scented breeze for your practice.
