365 yoga poses

I woke up today and the first thing I wanted to do before anything at all, even going to pee, was stretch. I wanted to get on he floor and do some yoga. So I get up opened the door for Alice and sat on the floor to try to do downward facing dog. FAIL. It was painful and I was not nearly as limber as I thought I would be first thing in the morning. Then I proceeded to try the pose from yesterday, lotus. As you can imagine that didn't work either and at this point Alice is now in my lap trying to kiss me and eat my hair. Today I want to do an animal pose. Day two - the rabbit pose (sasangasana) roughly translates as rabbit. Kneeling on the ground with head curled under, this pose is supposed to stretch your spine. It was a little painful at first but once I leaned into it, the stretching felt a little better, but my head felt a little crushed. I will attempt to do the rabbit at least twice more today when I get home from work and before I go to bed.

Just a picture to make you feel at home, it rained last night and he was trying not to drown.

365 yoga poses

So, today I start my journey down the yoga road in hopes to give something and gain something. Day one - The lotus posture (padmasana) a cross-legged sitting posture that translates as lotus throne. When in this pose you are supposed to keep your knees touching the ground, but with a bad back and knees it is a bit difficult. I will attempt to do this pose a few times today then carry it through the week with new additions everyday. Start off simple and end strong (I can only hope).

Alice thought she would join in, like always.

We all know that when life hands you lemons make lemonade, but what happens when life throws and huge juicy lemon at you and you have no hands to catch it. There is nothing to brace your fall but someone to catch you, and sweep you so far off your feet just as you try to crawl through their legs.  I’m so high and I look down to laugh and get thrown right back into what is this charismatic reality that always comes at just the nick of time.  When all you need is stability and the whole world has this emanating beauty that you can’t even touch because you can’t see straight.  The only thing you see clearly is also that lemon that’s so sour you can taste it through the phone feel the slight holes in the zest from 2748 miles away.  Remembering every simple detail on how hands moved out the window to shoo the bus, for he wasn’t going fast enough.  The sensitivity with every word thought and lingering moment stayed in the air as if a bug going for a light.  When everything feels so horribly perfect with all clarity and kindness aside I know karma may be a bitch but she can also be the biggest saint to roam the skies above.  When I felt that sand so gritty and lifeless as I was coming out of the water sunken with coral covered rock just prior to floating above those stones with so much life I could focus on just one thing. being.  I wanted nothing more than to be in that moment and feel everything I could each word, turn of the page accent of every word out of lips watching a movie in my head of exactly what was going on around me no imagination necessary just that moment of being.  All that was going on around had stopped just for this temporary lapse in a moment that could have easily gone unnoticed by everyone around.  Hearing the sounds of kings of leon coming from the kids to the right.  The wind blowing not once but twice the belongings to the left a pinkish purple ring.  Yet all that was noticeable was the fact that the reading had come onto the other, everything was different from one second to the next every sound, touch, feeling, sight, taste of the moment existed just then.  All for the phone to ring and the waiting began continuing to be nothing but supportive and my feeling of numb still remained and the feeling of pain for the numbness intruding on how I was really feeling set in deep I wanted to act as I wished but could not.  Only the vague longing for what I wanted to express was protruding in my skull I wanted to change everything but nothing all at once everything happens for the best of reasons.  I am going to make the sweetest and most sour lemonade ever from this!

The Mouse

As I was laying in bed I felt like there was something else in the room with me.  Maybe Skylar or maybe a mouse.  I could hear something in the ceiling/wall scurrying around.  Now I know I'm not crazy because there actually are mice here.  I've gone through not being believed about the mouse once now.  After hearing this scratching for a moment I stood on my bed and tried to hear closer.  I then realized how nice would it be at this moment to possess the power of Spider-man.  The ability to cling to the ceiling and wall to hear a bit closer.  I've never wanted super powers until that moment.  If you could have a super power what would it be and why? Do not say something because it would be fun or cool I want to hear practical uses.

I've always wanted to know what people are thinking.  Especially when they make faces.  Plain and simple I am a very curious person who has many thoughts.  I wonder if other people are thinking the same things, and where their train of thought takes them.  So, help me to know what goes on in someone else's mind by letting my know what goes on in yours.  As your read the randomness please tell me what goes on your head, even if its just one word.  Enjoy.

Fish Scales

While at the beach today I saw a fish scale. First I thought about how it got there. Maybe it was just something you see at the beach and never really pay attention to, then I looked around a bit to find there was much more then just the one.  There were tons in the area I was sitting in, so many in fact that I began to wonder if maybe the fish was killed.  By man or bird or just washed up from the sea.  My mind wandered for a while till I forgot about how the scales wound up there and began rebuilding the fish in a sense.  I began to wonder if what I was doing qualifies as a rebirth.  As I continued to make this fish and its friends, people walked by occasionally and looked down.  I wondered what they were thinking, what is she doing or hmm interesting.
What do you think of my fish activities?  But more importantly, What is rebirth?
