Epiphany in the Key of C
I’m back from Costa Rica. The yoga bug has bitten – after arriving home Saturday night, I was itching to practice Sunday morning, and again today. As I waited at the bus stop on my way to OM, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” came on the Pandora station I was listening to on my Blackberry:
(Sing it with me now…)
“You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need.”
This, I realized, is an exact summary of my yoga retreat. It wasn’t what I wanted, going in — it demanded more of me, made me work harder than I’d planned — but it was definitely what I needed.
Isn’t it fascinating, how we’re drawn to things sometimes without really knowing why, and they turn out to fill a deep inner need? As if our subconscious knows what we need before we recognize the need consciously…
I’m back. I’m stronger, surer and lighter. I wonder what the playlist will feature next…
