Wet Paint - Week 9

I've been lucky enough to be doing a lot of yoga recently. Good thing, since this is what I call the "dog days of winter." I was feeling kind of blue when I wrote this, which may sound surprising. 

I do love to swing. The feeling of being weightless and weight-full and then weightless again takes me back to being a kid.
All of the troubles in the world melt away. 

I'd like to take this feeling into my Week 9. Going back to the here and now. 
Nothing to do, with nowhere to go.

Orange is the new pink.


I obey only my own instincts and intuition. I know nothing in advance.
Often I put things down which I do not understand myself,
secure in the knowledge that later it will become meaningful to me. 
Henry Miller

Did I really say luscious? Valentines day must be right around the corner. 
I made a joke today in class, I said that "Orange is the new Pink. You know like the orange chakra?"
It was a tough crowd. 
This week I'd like to focus on finding that flow, as Henry Miller puts it, "secure in the knowledge that later it will become meaningful to me. " I like this. 
So much of what we do in this realm is so important. Give yourself a chance to take a risk this week and trust your gut- how about near your orange chakra?
