yeah there were have definitely been two schools of thought in my family life: the catholic/christian side and the more eastern philosophical side. needless to say the catholic side does not jive with my beliefs but the influence it’s had on certain relationships has been interesting to say the least.
ive done very little reading about jung’s “collective consciousness” theory but the little i have has fascinated me. it kind of speaks to the ideas about time you were talking about, because i have the same beliefs on time. in the end, what is it? it’s simply a measuring tool we use to facilitate our actions in this reality.
i haven’t really gotten into yoga, but my cousin is a yoga instructor who lives in new york. we always have this standing date to do a private lesson when she comes down here but haven’t been able to get together, but it is starting to become a priority. i was thinking about the pain i have and was surprised that i thought i would miss it once it fades away. you know how when you live with something for so long it just becomes a part of you, and when it leaves you really notice it. i guess it speaks to how people cope with it. but i am definitely happier when i feel like i can run at top speed through an open field.
i would love to get together, but you know i have b.cepacia, right? i would never forgive myself if somehow you got that bug. it is the bain of my existence and you CANNOT get it. i had this funny thought of you and i meeting in a place where we’re separated by a pane of glass (like in prison) and talking through phones. ha! then ____ said i should wear a totally germ-free bio-suit. i’m not sure how easy it is to pick up cepacia or germs or anything but maybe if we maintained a certain distance? i wonder what dr. holsclaw would think.
i bought some of the books you reccomended, can’t wait to dig into them.
