wednesday rain

i'm not sure this summer is ever going to dry out, and this humidity does cause me to sweat more and that makes the mat slippery.

but that forces me to focus more -- to keep my mind quiet and alert, to make sure my breathing is consistent, my alignment in order, my grounding solid...

too often i'm somewhere else when i'm on my mat, but when it's slip and slide, i can't afford to drift out of the room, i must stay in the moment, be present...

and ultimately, that's much of what yoga is suppossed to do for you...

so let it rain...
