tending sandwich making has been more than a full time job lately.
Being in the kitchen has amde it challenging to post a blog. In it, in the trenches am I.
The elder has required a great deal of care. Her anxiety and fears seem to get the best of her, but there is positive movement and progress .
This is called Better Living through Chemistry.
There are times when we need help; from a hug from another, from pharmaceuticals, from rest.
As a sandwich lady, my days are more than full and not my own. Putting me to my test of walking my talk with regard to my practice and teaching of Yoga.
Staying physically active, focusing on relaxing breaths and finding peace as I need to also transcends to my mother who is unable to create these places for herself. She is trying.
She is trying.
My "lower" part of my sandwich just turned 11 yesterday. As a child with special needs, he pulls me in other directions. some days, the two of them have me so in the middle and it is all I can do not to scream.
and I have.
And I am reminded by my teens to CHILL OUT!
so the yoga breath returns and I am reminded over and over again.
This too shall pass.
it is process not perfection.

hot pockets

it is hot.
they say when it gets too hot, get out of the kitchen.
the kitchen is way too big, the boundaries are endless.the edges of my pockets lean and bend and I am falling out, there are veggies and fillings(thoughts & feelings) everywhere.
how do we deal with infinite?

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle gives me comfort, to a small degree.
...that anything we study changes by the very fact that we are looking at it!
so, if we can effect change by looking, we can effect change by being.
humans being.
human being.
it is hard being a human, being.
