Continual Effort of Effort: Yoga at Yoga Six, Chicago, IL: August 1, 2016

Today is August 1 which means September 3 is in sight which means I'll be home after four months on the road but whose counting.

The class offering today was very symetrical and there was a continual effort to stay fresh on the second side. Alternating between trying to remember the sequence (live in the past) or wonder what's next (live in the future), staying steady and in the present was the main effort of my efforts today, and one suggested by sages since forever.

I'm learning how to do that in real life too, by watching and hanging out with the amazing musicians and roadies, who day after day after day demonstrate for real what it looks like to be "life live" as Eric Shiffmann talks about. Who knows how many times these musicians have played these songs, or the crew heard them, yet its fun and fresh and alive every single night. In that way I'm always "home".

Thanking my lucky stars I get to witness the work of these lucky stars and learn.

Namaste.
