I’m not one for resolutions.  Intentions resonate better with me.  But here it is, 16 days into the 2008 and I’m wondering what happened to my intentions.

Two years ago I completely shifted my life.  Closed the studio, left a realtionship and went off to India.  Seemed at the time like a lot of drama and chaos. 

Now the dust has settled and the stillness and ease of daily life is almost as overwhelming at times.  I don’t have to look over my shoulder wondering what is going to happen next.  I don’t exist in a chaotic relationship.  I’m resting when necessary and “playing” in life with dance, friends and new adventures.

Here’s an intention I can hold onto today.  Rest in the uncomfortable stillness.  Do not be afraid.  It is what I have longed for – to let go of the craziness in order to live and teach from a more centered and grounded place.  Yet even this is new to every cell in my body.  And it is with this intention that I breathe in and out, allowing my body to regulate in the stillness.  It’s that simple, and that hard. :)
