Extended Absence Pose

Or maybe I should have titled it "Extended Neglect Pose".

I've pretty much allowed myself to be caught in the maelstrom of transition with the end of my Japan stint and the return to the Twin Cities and finding a moving into and settling in a place. To be honest, I haven't even settled into my place, as there are still items in boxes and nothing hung on the wall. I did buy a few pieces of furniture and have a great couple of bookshelves and a nice, orange chair. I bought a car to replace my old one, which made me feel all adult.

I'm trying to find the value of this period. My yoga practice has fallen off yet again. Somehow all I have managed to do is lose muscle mass. Am I learning to settle without sloughing away? Am I learning to navigate different currents of my life? Or am I becoming lazy and complacent?

Maybe it's another practice in examination with as little judgment as possible.
