Tiffany you would fit in to my yoga class farts and all. I don't plan on teaching this to my students. I'd like to think that they'd be interested enough to get there on their own one day. But I'm not a spiritual leader. I just teach the poses. Anna, I may need to check that book out of the library. That would be a good one to read over Christmas break. Ha!

They have been lumped together for so long that it is difficult to see that spirit is about your true self. It can be something that comes from within and doesn't have to deal with "Holy Spirit" or whatever. Right now I am reading "Eat, Pray, Love". I know I saw it mentioned somewhere, but can't remember if it was here or by another person. It talks about the authors journey of becoming a spiritual (but so far, not religious) person. The part I am reading now makes me think of you. I totally get the having a hard time separating spiritual from religious.

I've been catching up on your entries, and really it all boils down to this for me: Brahmacharya = continence. I think THIS is the one you should master first, Cindy. I had no idea this was a problem for you. OH GAH, I am totally kidding! I would so not fit in to a serious yoga class. I'd be farting all up in that place. Whew!

I am glad I did. Such great words, amazing thoughts and all kinds of validation coming your way from me! Powerful. There is a more powerful piece of Geography for all of us. I feel it when I drive through Norman, OK. I was happiest longer in my life on that land than I have been ever on any other piece of land. And it all ways beckons me back. San Fran. Ease. Peace. I did leave my heart there. That peace of land is my home. Its my place on the Earth. I don't have to walk it like Cain any longer. I belong there. So yes, Portland. Your land. Aren't you glad to not be Cain any longer? Aren't you glad you at least know where you belong? I finally found you through Zelda and woman! I am glad I did.
