Today, it interested me to observe other fellow drivers. Especially, when one almost ran me off the road while leaving work. How bazaar to honk at someone sitting at a green light, when its only been green for 2 seconds. Why in such a hurry sir? Anyway.....why not slow down and savor the few minutes not being stuck behind a desk? It's very ritualistic for me, but I enjoy slowly turning on my car, finding a good cd, adjusting the volume and rolling down the windows before I speed off into crazy traffic.
I started yoga 9 weeks ago, and ever since, I feel like my awareness of the things around me is profound. My environment is like a totally different world all together. My senses notice things that I was not aware of before. I left work the other day and just looked up at the sky. Why hadn't I done that before? It was so blue. So beautiful. I think for a very long time, I have looked down at the pavement as I walk that 6 minute path to my car. There is a whole universe out there. Wow.....where have I been? I feel like I have been a zombie...and I've just woken up.
I kind of felt sorry for that man who honked at me. He's still asleep.
