THE WAY IT IS
Relating back to the poem I posted last Thursday, it is all pretty much the same.
Same drama with regards to Anusara Yoga -- not knowing, just being patient as things filter out. Offering a comment here and there on Facebook. Trying to stick with Howard's advice: "don't write anything on Facebook that you don't want in print on the front page of your local newspaper". Good advice.
Those of us who are/were in the Certification process have joined together in a group called the "Honey Badgers" on Facebook (honey badgers are relentless creatures, especially when backed into a corner). Why? Well, we need to do something to keep our minds occupied and off the crisis. The group's intent is to offer connection, communication, and support to one another, with the caveat -- no discussion of the Anusara issues. We are simply about working towards our goal of becoming the best yoga teachers we can be -- much like a honey badger would do.
People wonder about why I just don't teach, forget about it (the goal). When that happens, I remember this line of the poem: "People wonder about what you are pursuing.".
Some days I wonder too. And, I am still teaching, still studying. I have not, however lost sight of my goal, my thread.
At this stage, I am happy to be in my sixties. Through all this - watching the angst and petty-ness of some comments, the mean-ness of others, and - of course - the well thought through comments - I remain calm.
Not letting go, but not getting carried away, either.
Today? Teaching at the Library. Request for shoulder and neck work; better get back to the books.
Enjoy your Monday and your week,
