Yoga has utterly fallen by the wayside. Poof. I fell out of practice during my stressful March and now it’s no longer routine. Routine. I never liked routines, but in order to be a functioning member of society, I gotta abide by some: school schedules, work schedules (although, not lately), bedtime for kids, bills. I can’t tell if I’m anti-authoritarian or just lazy. Maybe both. I want to spend my time doing what I want to do when I have the rare free time to do it, so going to yoga class or the idea of going to the Unitarian church incite rebellion. Another possibility: change is hard and I resist change like a stubborn two-year-old.
In the mean time, I’m adding to my bedside table reading list (thanks to Dan):
- Greg Epstein – Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe
- Lawrence Bush – Waiting for God: The Spiritual Explorations of a Reluctant Atheist
- Robert Solomon – Spirituality for the Skeptic
This month’s resolution is just too big to work through in one month. Next month will be a complete switch to a small, achievable (and rather embarrassing) goal.
Ah, teasers are fun.
