Scatterheart

Yesterday I got up early (5 am) to practice Ashtanga with the crowd at Main St. yoga -- which is across town from me and really early in the morning -- but also worth it because it always ends up being a great practice. The hard part is that I never seem to be able to get to bed early in the summer, so I always end up needing a nap later in the day.

When I went to lie down on the couch in the afternoon, I felt all this energy surging in and around my heart. I always like it when I feel energy moving inside me because it means I'm in the flow. But having it in heart chakra is relatively new, and feels that much more exciting because it seems to be announcing love or the space for love or the openness to love. And I feel open to it, which is exciting and a far cry from where I was just a few months ago.

I like Bjork's take in this song on letting life and love unfold:

Black night is falling
The sun is gone to bed
The innocent are dreaming
As you should, sleepy-head
Sleepy-head, sleepy-head:

All the love above
I send into you
Comfort and protection
I'll watch over you

But don't ask me
What's gonna happen next
I know the future
I'd love to lead you the way
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself

My

Dearest

Scatterheart

There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself

All the hurt in the world
You know
There's nothing I'd love to do more
Than spare you from that burden
It's gonna be hard

If I only could
Shelter you
From that pain
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself

I think you're right Bjork, and I think I'm on that road. It used to feel like the pieces of my heart were scattered about, but it feels put back together and vibrant now.

I'm excited to see what shows up!
