I will be cultivating patience for the rest of my life.
It is certainly not in my nature and definitely one of my biggest stumbling blocks on and off the mat. Which is probably why I am constantly provided opportunities to test and explore where I am at with this virtue. My latest test - my left leg.
My left leg. Argh!!! It was the more flexible of the two. I could easily put it behind my head. Now - not so much; actually not even close. While I know none of this should matter my ego keeps rearing it's ugly head to remind me how attached I remain to the physical part of my practice.
Still so much to learn.
So, I decided to to the Matthew Sweeney workshop this week-end. Even though my practice is half of what it is. It will be a good mental practice to let go of the ego and cultivate patience. I have a very complicated work week ahead of me; this will definitely help put me in the right frame of mind.
