Gaia

I took in New York last summer. My relatives from that part of the world (not New York) are visiting the US right now, having a great time seeing a lot and getting out of the tensions they live in everyday in Palestine.

Anyway, I had a great weekend. One day off, yay!! I went on a super long walk and then H and I biked to Aqua Verde and had key lime pie, yum yum yum... and then we biked from there to gas works park and people watched for a while and then we biked half home and took the bus half way.. We walked in the door and made a quick bite to bring to his bosses annual picnic. It was nice and fun..

Today i had a market and it went well. My Sunday market always does, even when we have these stupid never ending gray skies. God... We need summer to recharge and this has been so fucking annoying. Not a lot of rain, but way too many cool gray days in a row. I wore a thick merino sweater all day today... ugh...

Ok, a little yoga tomorrow. But, I think I am officially taking a long sabbatical from ashtanga. My body and this practice have been struggling too long and now my shoulder is totally torn and hurts, just as my hip is healing. I'm at my 7th year stretch, and need to go in a different direction for a while, while i heal. I know i keep saying that, but it's so hard to leave something i love so much. I feel like crap when i don't practice, so somehow i have to find a balance that isn't pushing my body too hard and i still feel like i am getting in a good and healthy practice. oh, the struggles of pain and getting older and all this stuff.
