Laughing Yoginis

Ah, the complexity, pain and humor of samsara all wrapped up ..... Credit for pointing this out goes to my monk-physicist friend ....... "Finite Simple Group of Order Two"

I have no idea why I let her drive me to Milwaukee -- it was all so proposterous. Sort of, well absurd. It seemed to make sense at the time. Although once we hit the traffic jam there was a moment of questioning the sanity of the whole thing, but hindsight is 20/20. I know I am supposed to write about it -- that journey through a thousand flavours. They both told me so. But there was so much food involved. I have no idea what was said. Its all a blur of spumoni and chocolate cake and, well, I think I even pounded on the table at least once. I laughed so hard that in the end I have no idea what I was laughing about. Fab yoga teacher gives another cameo in my life -- who else would rejoice that her class totally annoyed you (it was a good thing) and then offer up more chocolate cake?

I discovered the other day that my roommate is this really serious yogini. I mean, really serious about her yoga practice. Way way serious. I am not sure how she has kept it hidden. You see, she is so serious that she only practices one pose at a time. And she practices it until its perfected, and then she goes on to another one. This past week, she must have practiced this one pose for hours -- and she says that its one of the hardest poses to do out of all of the yoga poses -- some people even say its the most difficult of all. Yes, the pose she is studying now is Savasana -- Corpse pose. She aspires to practice it at least eight hours a day until she perfects it. then she will move on to the next pose. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with this famous pose -- I have enclosed a picture.

Have we been laughing enough or has it been going all blah? [*blink* OK, no one comments on this blog, so is this a rhetorical question or am I talking to myself? *blink* Oh, huh -- are either of those a bad sign? *blink*]
