Questions on the Path (On the Way to Work)



It is ok to think you are the center of your own world as long as you remember and behave with the awareness that the world is filled with a collective of individual consciousnesses.
This morning, on my last full day of vacation, on my way to leave my bags in the office of the bed and breakfast where I was staying before I walked about in Santa Fe for the day, I walked back through the breakfast room, where I had eaten an hour before.
To my happy surprise, good friends from home (a former co-worker and his wife, whom I’d just been thinking about because I knew how much they like New Mexico) were there finishing their meal.
We spent much of the day together, until I had to leave to catch the train to Albuquerque to be ready for tomorrow’s early morning flight back home.
It felt a perfect completion of a trip made to study yoga and be in community for the week.

Sometimes I wonder why a thing appears in a particular place at a particular time. Then I wonder why I wonder. It is not as though I am going to get an answer. It can be good fun, though, speculating on the how and why as long as we don’t get too caught up in needing an answer.

We had fun watching it get snowier and snowier between my two Willow Street classes (delightful how many came despite the weather), but it sure was cold on the way home.
As the nights get longer and colder and darker, it can be very tempting to hibernate. It is not a bad thing to focus more on the indoor things, but for health and happiness make sure to get out and soak up some light every day.
The moon just past full greeted me this early morning as I headed for the metro to ride up to Silver Spring to assist at the therapeutics workshop with the wonderful Todd Norian who has come to visit and make offering to our community. Seeing the moon over the vivid trees made me glad I had a reason to get out of the house extra early on a Sunday morning.
