It’s amazing how we and the rest of the Universe are so closely connected. Sitting at home, still working, but being allowed to ‘take stock’ of my current predicament, I’m running dozens of ‘what if’ scenarios through my head.
Then, to focus my own thoughts on just what this situation might make possible, I stumble across this Thought For Today from Sensei …
“When we plant the seeds of self-doubt, only noxious weeds sprout. When we limit ourselves with low expectations, the growth of the tree of happiness immediately ceases.
The power of growth, of improvement, the power to overcome all stagnation and break through every obstacle and transform a barren wasteland into a verdant field—that unstoppable power of hope resides right there in your own heart.
It will well up from the rich earth of your innermost being when you face the future without doubt or fear: “I can do more. I can grow. I can become a bigger and better human being”—life and faith are a never-ending struggle to grow.”
So, when you couple that to the fact that the Canal and River Trust are advertising their vacancies, maybe taking stock is just what I needed, and that the connections are strong.

Taking stock is good work. Practice is as well. The more we practice the more I’ve learned to not learn. I’ve taken up yoga and have been doing it for a year. I have come to realize that yoga is a gift to my body. As has releasing the bond I had with alcohol. Thank you. Namaste.
