Personal Development Journal Part 4

Oct 26, 2008, Lightening Up, and Remembering the Mother

I went to the woods yesterday.

Yesterday morning's class theme was humor, and where humor fits into yoga, and our spiritual lives. I thinks it is obvious to most of us that it does, but it's fun to talk about why.

We laughed a lot, but we usually laugh a lot.

My trip to the woods was pilgrimage and therapy, and also preventative medicine. I have agreed to take on three new classes, which chances are will fall on my last remaining possibilities for days off. I will still have time off, but no more days off.

It will just be through the winter, and it will be fine, and the stability of the extra income, plus the restfulness of teaching somewhere where I'm not in charge, will be welcome aspects.

I'll have to keep my sense of humor in good shape to maintain balance within the confines of my new schedule, and walking in the deep woods, cradled in the arms and breath of mother earth, I filled myself up.

Other things I'll need are:

Committed spontaneity.

Disciplined incongruity.

How very yogic.
