This morning the room contained at least thirty people but
the silence was profound until my yoga class was briefly disturbed by a sneeze,
followed by a neighbor’s “bless you.”
Yoga offers an opportunity to reflect on life, so my deep
thought was, “Does anyone say gesundheit anymore?”
Then there’s the fact that we all get
a bit shorter with age, which makes sense- gravity and all. But why do our ears
and noses continue to grow? I can’t imagine what evolutionary issue that ever
addressed.
You can see that meditation for me is
a work in progress.
Many years ago I read an interview with Donald Sutherland, who said he'd asked his mother as a teen if he was handsome, and his mother said "no." Then he knew he'd have to make it on acting talent alone.
ReplyDeleteHe had his moments, though. I found some pretty hunky pics when I was looking for the one I used.
DeleteTrue. I think he aged well and was much better looking as an older man than as a young one.

ReplyDeleteThat made me smile. so true.
I think it's called imagination!
ReplyDeleteI've found in the past that most movies which have Donald Sutherland in them are worth watching.
ReplyDeleteGood point. And his range of characters is wide.
DeleteI love my quiet yoga class. And I think we don't use the German word much any more. "Bless you" is all I hear.
