To Live & Die in Barre, MA

I've been wondering what this blog is all about. Except the obvious, writing has helped me survive.  Maybe I should have named it "fragmented".  But that's where i came from and I'm journeying toward unity.   I believe I'm going back to a memory of wholeness that exists.  It's just that it isn't in my conscious memory!
Bev, my yoga teacher says the body remembers wholeness from the embryonic state.  And I experience the difference yoga makes everyday! It's totally changed my life.  Really, I haven't seen an orthopedic surgeon in years now and that's a record!
The greatest minds in the world agree that we don't know that much.  But one thing they do agree on is that unity exists.  Life is connected to life.
I lived years with my mind and body so out of balance that I thought they were separate.  Much in society promotes this idea.  But when I started to question what made something true and experimented with my own life it became very interesting.  That's a bit of a miracle in itself, because what I was seeing seemed to be a life that was irrevocably broken.
So even though it's Christmas and my son's birthday and  there is all this pressure to hurry around- I'm gonna put me first today.  You see I really am grateful for the blessings in my life.  And that attitude has carried me through a lesson or two.  I know in some deep place, with all the parts of my being that the best gift I can give is a peaceful, healthy, smiling me.
