Tomorrow is a full moon and tomorrow we fly to Michigan to visit my Dad in Canada. And unfortunately, my Living Saddhana took a nose dive and is in desperate need of resuscitation if it's going to survive.
Currently I have a black eye from having a MOH's surgery two days ago to remove a basal cell carcinoma. That's not really an issue for me, though it did prevent me from practicing yoga for two days because it hurt to hang my head. But the week earlier I had to take Doxycycline for a different procedure last week. In the past I have never been able to swallow pills that big. But I discovered that if I ate a couple of pringles potato chips before attempting to swallow these large pills I could get them down without choking. Of course, eating pringles was not part of my plan of eating well. And to top it off, we hosted a party at our house over the weekend for John's retiring running coach. So, on several fronts my plans for eating well were sidelined and took a detour. I'm worried how well I'll eat while visiting my carnivorous father in Canada...
However, the other part of my Living Saddhana has been going spectacularly well! I LOVE this translation/edition of the Bagavad Gita! It is readable, accessible, and a pleasure to read.
I'm enjoying the sensations in my mind this book elicits that I can only describe as the feeling of synapses popping open and re-circuit-ing neural networks as I try to wrap my brain around some of the concepts presented in this phenomenal book.
Unfortanely, I have to drive back to the other house now and pack. Otherwise I would fill you in on the book's details in more depth. But that will have to wait for another day.
Enjoy the full moon and Happy Memorial Day!
Infinite blessings to you,
Poodle
