DAY FOURTEEN: REST AND GLORY ON THE 7TH DAY

There are two types of prayer: prayers of thanksgiving and praise for the glory of this life, this chance at the miracle of being alive, even the glory of our so called “troubles.” And there are prayers asking for help out of your troubles.

Take some time to pray today.


Many times, take a little bit of time.

Ask for what you want, if you want to make that kind of prayer. Don’t worry or demand, but ask for health, or ease for yourself or another.



And alternate the asking prayers with short happy grateful thanksgiving prayers. You can sing about this, if you want, or write a poem or a song.

Doesn’t matter.

A little thanksgiving goes a long away.

And do this a lot, in little one or two minute doses all day.

yes yes, no no and life goes on

i tried this on Sunday

no car
yes garden

no computer
yes reading

no compulsive working
yes puttering

turned
out to be a pretty
good
day

cold, wet, happy

"half backbend," (head under gap) from Chris' SUFIA yoga (Feldenkrais/yoga/tai chi) mix

to be cold
is odd
and often
"unfriendly" feeling

and i/ we
can crank up the heat

in three ways:

on the wall

in the awarenesss
(just noticing where our bodies
are cold
where they are warm,
what the mid zones are where the change
takes place)

in get moving,
and the heat
can come from within:

five pushups
(head loose and free,
pelvis tilted and lifted,
breathing free
as we go)

five squats
one leggged
or two

a little hopping,
skipping
dancing
tai chi-ing around

fun

come to class
Monday
11:15 at Sonoma Ballet Conservatory
and learn at least ten
really fun
ways to get
hotter,
smarter
sexier
stronger

funner
