strong showing today

my back still aches, but that yoga... man, I'll tell you. Stretch it out and breathe into every tendon. Inhale the pain and exhale the deepness of the depth of fabric in interlocking cells that make up the muscles... a calm breathing and intentional focus on the body leads to a strong showing. Even getting up at 5:30am after not sleeping well because a cauldron of sauce is brewing through the night- worried about it burning or a fire... all for naught. Jacuzzi to loosen up that cold, northwest body and then into the yoga practice. May everyday start off so calmly and focused. Feeling confident about a day that I thought was doomed from the beginning. Release into sleep.
