Thoughts from a restless mind

First, I´d like to mention that when I arrived home I burst into a fit of laughter revisiting the visual of Andra draining coffee from a camelback....

So I am a generally positive, happy person and have always struggled to relate when I hear testimonies about people who were once lost or numb to the world and suddenly came alive when the found something new, or the right fit. An artist finally discovers her passion for ceramics, a depressed woman finds Jesus, a high school outcast finds acceptance in her new group of computer technology club friends. But tonight I realized that our community is doing just that to me. Something is awakening inside me I didn´t know was asleep. I am coming out of a minor depression I had no idea I was in. You ladies have an profoundly invigorating effect on me that I have never before understood. Right now:

I feel strong.

And its a kind of inner strength; I associate it with longevity more than temporary energy.

I feel peaceful.

There is a Biblical expression that says "Peace like a river", which I relate to on many levels. Despite turbulence and danger, there is also constant and consistency.


I cannot wait for tomorrow.

I cannot wait to see your faces as the week continues.

Seek grace, seek to be evoked, and seek each other.

Yoga can do that to you. It gives you a pretty profound sense of inner strength and a sense of clarity that is often kinda helpful. (Now you know why I go five times/week. I'd go twice/day if I had the time.)
