I visited the National Gallery this morning with a friend and then walked to the White House to join those raising their voices in support of the Equal Rights Amendment.
I am writing this post as I sit on the Metro platform at Takoma, waiting for a train back to Union Station. There were already dozens of people waiting when I got here. I have been here for ten minutes or so, and there is no time posted on the board yet for the next train.
Some people are talking on their phones or socializing with each other. Some are pacing back and forth. Some look resigned. Some are going into tirades about the problems with Metro. Some are reading and have made themselves more or less at home where they are.
I sit cross-legged, basking in the sun, blogging for now, and if time permits also in my journal. I could be angry or impatient or annoyed, but it would not get me home any sooner. So I just find enjoyment of the waiting time with the materials at hand.
Although there are circumstances where physical pain or suffering cannot be avoided, yoga can help us find a greater sense of equanimity when we are challenged. As John Friend reminded us this week in a different context, “in a large part, it will be seen that the suffering is optional.”
I now approach Union Station. Perhaps when I get home I will supplement this post with appropriate citations to Patanjali. Or maybe I will play with the cats and pick some grrens from the garden for dinner.
Yesterday afternoon at the Supreme Court, these dedicated people were speaking out for our rights. How is your practice supporting those who are out there supporting you?
I do enjoy the manner in which you have presented this specific challenge plus it does give me personally some fodder for thought. However, through just what I have witnessed, I really trust as other comments pile on that people today continue to be on point and in no way embark on a soap box regarding some other news of the day.
Along with everything that appears to be building within this specific area, your opinions are generally rather exciting. On the other hand, I beg your pardon, but I do not subscribe to your entire suggestion, all be it radical none the less. It looks to me that your opinions are actually not completely justified and in actuality you are your self not really fully convinced of the point.
In it something is. Now all is clear, I thank for the help in this question.
I am sorry, that has interfered… But this theme is very close to me.
Excuse, that I interfere, but it is necessary for me little bit more information.
I apologize, but, in my opinion, it is obvious.
The matchless phrase, is pleasant to me.
I am final, I am sorry, but it not absolutely approaches me. Perhaps there are still variants?
Excuse, I have thought and have removed the message.
I am sorry, that I interfere, but, in my opinion, there is other way of the decision of a question.
I think, that you are not right. I am assured. I suggest it to discuss.
And other variant is?
You are absolutely right. In it something is and it is good thought. I support you.
I believe, that always there is a possibility.
