almost there




So it's all come down to one last day of shenanigans, then it's all over. Hallelujah.
Dia de los Muertos should have a November 5th revival; enough time to enjoy it.

Well, with luck, this election will tip a lot further in the general direction of least resistance than the last two in '00 & '04. Barack Obama can be the first black "leader of the free world" since, well, Abraham Lincoln. That is, unless you're counting the Moorish rule in place during early Anglo settlement...

I drift.

I'm now within about three weeks of graduation and I'm wondering where this yoga schooling will finally take me. Actually, I've made up my mind: yoga-for-pay isn't for everyone, so why not let the gov't pay the tab (in federal grant money) while I impart health to the masses for free? There are so many ways to apply what I'm learning, and I hope to do much more with it. I'm thinking I'm a pretty prepared, albeit totally nervous yoga teacher. Later, I'll want to really dig in and take the 300-hour training, a terminal degree so to speak.

The past several sessions have focused on dictating instruction. This is no small task when you feel too nervous to speak in front of strangers in your lingua franca, let alone inject it with Sanskrit instruction. Only a few weeks practice until I start on my friends. Mercy.
