Trinity: June 2007
http://terracottakaruna.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 11, 2007. This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness,. Some momentary awareness comes. As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! When I came across this poem by Rumi which seems to be speaking to equanimity, I thought about the "how"s of that, like stepping back from a feeling to become the witness of it, rather than identifying with it, but then I also thought of the Middle Eastern practice of hospitality.

Trinity: ye olden bait n' switch
http://terracottakaruna.blogspot.com/2008/12/ye-olden-bait-n-switch.html
Friday, December 19, 2008. Ye olden bait n' switch. Thinking I'd get to train with my old teacher, I actually went back for some traditional martial arts training. Instead, on account of an injured back, I got the older teacher who smells uncannily like a dentist. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Trinity: dang teens
http://terracottakaruna.blogspot.com/2008/12/dang-teens.html
Saturday, December 27, 2008. Also, I knew on some level but never really realized how intricate weight training can be - you can pretty quickly determine heavy, medium, and light weight classes for a given exercises, and then say within one class light-heavy, medium-heavy, and heavy - I'm kind of curious to see now if there is a fractal effect like in classical yoga, now.

Trinity: March 2008
http://terracottakaruna.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Borrowed poem, again. Time flies, knells call, life passes, so hear my prayer. Birth is nothing but death begun, so hear my prayer. Death is speechless, so hear my speech. Who served his ka and his tete. Say true. May the forgiving glance of Lakshmi heal his heart. Say please. May the arms of God raise him from the darkness of this earth. Say please. Surround him, Shiva, with light. Fill him, Kali, with strength. If he is thirsty, give him water in the clearing.

Trinity: December 2008

Tuesday, December 30, 2008. One thing to remember when sitting at a desk job - hips! Also, with the new workouts I'm happy to be getting a sheath of muscle again; it'll be nice for the organ-deep strikes of systema, just in feeling less vulnerable than when I did when I wasn't working out and felt skinny and weak. It's not a big visible difference, but I'm starting to feel it. Saturday, December 27, 2008. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Monday, December 22, 2008. Ow, I tell you. Friday, December 19, 2008.

Trinity: May 2007
http://terracottakaruna.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 13, 2007. Things I need to work on upon setting out to teach a beginning yoga class:. Interesting local metaphor: instead of the lotus being representative of the crown-chakra, the saguaro flower was used. Which I could see working in a different way, involving something about the saguaro's far-spreading roots, and it's slow growth.interesting to think about, anyway. Saturday, May 5, 2007. I have an idea of what I would like to do, I'm just not sure how to explain it. I saw a hundred suns.

Thoughts and Opinions, Reviews. Tempted to go make a new bookshelf. What's that all aboot? Wow yeah that was dumb. Holy crap the new X-Force. Is badass, and I love the subtle touch of how Wolverine calls Laura just "X" - I mean, what is she to him as his clone.daughter, sister? Yet the nickname sums up a lot of that unexplainable relationship nicely. Cool, but scary somehow. Lesson: heroin prostitution = :'(. All I have to say is this. Gone, Baby Gone. Some of the throws are cool, but I find his lackadai...

Thoughts and Opinions, Reviews. Mexican accents have also made me smile, like when the word "supposedly" always comes out as "suposably.". The secretary they've recently hired is pretty slow at learning things, which would be okay if she didn't have a personality that seems to exude not taking responsibility for things. As it is, we've heard her kind of badmouthing things/people instead of just getting better at her duties. Sadness. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
