Ashtanga Traveler

So I have not practiced yet....taught this morning at 6. I set my alarm for 3:45am...but.....need I say more...I did not get up til 5am. Off to the shala at a leisurely pace. Had the place to myself for about a half hour.

So now I have to decide to I practice after my lunchtime class or do I wait until later in the afternoon, once I am home with the kids? Clearly a home practice does not provide me with the same sense of solitude and peace, but at the same time, being around my family fills me with joy, even when I get "jumped on". And I end up with more face time at my real job.

I think I will jest wait to see how things unfold.

Conrad was very excited about his dress up day today....of course we forgot all of his stuff on the way to school, so I had to drop off Hux first then go back home and get Connie's gear.

Need I say more.....

Several more parcels/posties have arrived....Hanuman via NYC (Chatvari) and Mindbending Stonehendge via the UK. Killer whales in Vancouver, Fenway Park....and the GREEN Monster.

Both Huxley and Conrad are now just as "stuck" as I am chanting Om Namaha Shivaya....much to my husband's chagrin.....

it is quite funny because He and I were having a conversation about the Hindu Gods and Sages.....(he finds all religion to be offensive...does not matter what it is).... about icons and religion, representation etc....(a bit firey really, but in a good way, to a certain extend because now we have Patanjali, Ganesha, Buddha, and Hanuman IN THE HOUSE)....and both H and C were singing this chant in the background while they were playing....he of course did not notice! I just smiled sweetly and to myself.
