Stop Look and Listen
Well a few days post cruise and I think my body and mind are getting back to normal although I still smirk when I see a pigeon (what happens on the cruise stays on the cruise). I was supposed to go on my run this morning with Loca but ended up in a slow walk because the air was pregnant with water molecules and it weighed too much to move through it. The Crescent City Run is this Saturday and for the life of me, I can’t imagine putting in a 10K right now with these knees and my hip and back. Oh but whatever. I am pushing through the pain. Today in yoga I actually put all my weight on my right hand which is so tweaked out it is almost useless and I just grimaced through.
The message today was about wringing out the core – cleaning out the clutter – and then getting down to business and that is how I felt the last 48 hours. I have been working through an email issue and my computer tech Christina was able to resolve my issues but not without some hand wrangling. I don’t know what possessed me to even think of getting an iPad, STOP, I said to myself, I need not one more &%(#! consumer electronic, digital device to make my stomach clench.
I’ve been floating in an ether of ideas lately, trying to venture outside my comfort zone and LOOK around because it seems like there have been interesting doors opening around me that were previously disguised under a curtain. Now the question is is there a wizard of Oz behind there or am I the wizard?
My body and mind told me I needed to get away from it all and reevaluate everything and when I did I was able to see clearly what the priorities are in my life and I came running back to them. It’s hard to hear what your mind is telling you or what your body is telling you because there are too many competing entities vying for your attention. That’s where I was when I left – multitasked to hell and back. And now having been back a couple of days and not having yet gone back to my meditation in the morning, my being is begging me to LISTEN up and get back with the program of stilling my mind.
