8am. the teacher that doesn't smile. I say "hello" and she looks away. every time. what's that about?
I start there.
Thankfully, that little opportunity fades quickly. I don't know what her story might be. It's not personal. I let it go.
I'm here to practice. Just me and me in the room.
Except, I've noticed that I do get distracted, from time to time, with other people in the room. I feel their energy. Some days that's a helpful thing. Some days...not so helpful at all. It seems there's a lot of stuff people are carrying around.
Thankfully, those opportunities come and go, arising and falling away. It's just like watching the breath.
It's a good practice today.
I feel present, but tired enough not to have it in me to strive too much. I'm finding edges and I'm breathing. All good. Some of the postures are humbled by the early morning; my muscles are hardly awake for quite a while. All is well. I'm on the right path and I know it. It's clear that just showing up today is the best thing I can do.
And, before I know it, we're in savasana and I am resting deeply.
