expressing our humanity
added Sunday, April 20, 2008how do we express our humanity? does the way we express it change the way we live?
i started to watch the wire in this past week. i love it. it is a window into how people express their humanity, their passions, their pain, etc. do they let distractions, like addictions, fears, confusion and environment, get in they way of that is they core. which of these characters know their core, their truth, their home? why? why not? what stops us from reaching our home, our truth our core? can we be happy not tearing off those layers that do not let us see the way clearly or can we numb ourselves to be ok not reaching home?
since my grandfather died friday, 11 april, 2008 i have been feeling lost and confused. what is my truth? my home? my core? i know that when i sit in front of the women at the house of ruth and teach them to breath, how to sit up with out using their hands, i am home. when i sit in at flow yoga center for class or to work at the front desk, i am home. there is no where else i need to be. there is no questions. when i read about physiology and it is so clear to me how vitamins work in our body or what minerals contribute to make our muscles contract and expand. i am home.
yet, i let distractions take me away from these places of clarity, and peace. why is that i do not grasp these places in difficult moments even more?
i guess this is the way i express my humanity.
