Sleepy.

I started my asana practice a little late tonight (midnight) and didn't read anything. I had a rough evening tonight after looking at old pictures of my parents when my mom was just getting out of college and she and my dad were starting their lives together. They looked like they were having so much fun! That made me painfully aware of how isolated I feel sitting in this basement. I pushed so many people away back in Massachusetts, but now I just want to hang out with people no matter how lame they are. I even posted on craigslist.org to find some friends. Ho hum.

Anyway, posting made me feel better because I was attempting to do something about my current situation. So we smoked a little and then I started my practice. It was AWESOME! I almost got myself into reverse triangle and I touched my nose to my knee in parsvattonasana! My hips are less tense than they have been in a long time. That could have been a product of the Dahn class I attended today. It was alright--there was a nice lady in the class and some of the stretches were helpful. I enjoy traditional yoga a lot better... in fact, this wasn't really yoga at all. There was meditation though, and not a lot of yoga classes these days have meditation. So despite being tired and a little sad, I'm here and my hips feel fabulous. Whee!

I was reminded tonight during my thought wanderings that I wanted to concentrate on one of the yamas for the next five two-week cycles in order. For the next two weeks, I will concentrate on ahimsa in all corners of my life.
