together

I cannot possibly write for I have too much to say. Far too much, and perhaps things one should keep to themselves.

I am a ship out on distant high seas, riding the waves with dignity. With grace.

I continue to find strength in the things I have discovered during and through this blog.

The group at work where we meditate and Pranayama-breathe on lunch breaks is really growing into something. I have been planting seeds at work and they are growing into something beautiful. To the right, to the left, wherever I step. I plant the seeds that I have discovered.

And I am sailing the cold waves. Not that they don't batter me. But I batter them back.

And maintain a peace within the storm (that is our existence here in our lives, this world, our world of so much potential).

And I breath in deeply, then hold a moment, then release slowly. Slowly.

And a room full of co-workers hum OHMMM in a room that only an hour ago housed a meeting. And now here I am, breathing, smiling, encouraging the roomfull (that encourages me back) that this is how we counter pain, sadness, and all of life's tests.

We breathe.
Together.

Do you find you get sea-sick sometimes?

I went sailing with a pal some years back - he spent the whole time in his bunk puking.

Me?

Had a great time...wandering around the ship like a Lord.

Ya- got to be tough
