It's April now and even though it's still dumping snow out here in Utah there are the signs of Spring. With Spring comes the budding of flowers, the hint of warm weather, and the reality of change. This Spring many things are changing in my life, and I have been trying to embrace them with open arms versus denial and repression.
For many reasons I have been veering in another direction from the path I had tried so carefully to lay out. Unfortunately veering can sometimes feel more like leaping off the deep end. Thus with this new direction my life has become as unsettled as a freshly shaken snow globe. In these times of the unknown I keep reminding myself that 'this too shall pass'.
'This too shall pass' is a proverb conveying that material things and events in ones life will come and go. This is a great phrase in times of despair or frustration, but it is also supposed to be used in times of elation and good fortune. It is a way for us to grow through our interactions with life. And a reminder that nothing is forever. Do not get attached to what you had or where you were going, do not dwell on the past or dream of the future. Be thankful for the present and whatever it brings.
Change can be a beautiful thing, scary, but beautiful. Embrace both.
Great song by a fellow VTer Bobby Kendes Things Are Changing (song is in the right hand corner)
About Me
- Tina Nardi
- Salt Lake City, UT, United States
- An East Coast girl who turned west in search of big mountains and soft snow. I have been a physical yoga practitioner for eight years, but know that yoga has always been with me. I love interacting with / learning from poeple, especially athletes. I took D'ana Baptiste's teacher training and have discovered my authentic self and teaching style. My classes are generally a dynamic vinyasa flow incorportating strength and stability, firing up the tapas (inner heat). Come join me for some great flowing fun!
