Day 25: Looking Past the Ick

Tonight, I actually felt like my body and my head were both present almost continuously during the practice. Surprising, since there are many worries lurking around me these days. I hate sounding so ominous and dark, but it is hard to ignore during the day--except when I'm focused and working with my students.

But, as the 90 minutes of yoga works its way through my body, I have at least a moment of separation from the stress. A chance to catch my breath and realize that it isn't going to get me. It seems like it's going to get some people that I love dearly, but even they will survive. It will make them stronger.
