The other day,in the middle of ustrasana, or camel pose—a killer backbend that some consider the toughest posture in the whole Bikram practice—it occured to me that if I can remain calm and focused while in such a physically stressful state, I can get through anything. The studio around me is full of people who know just what I mean. They practice not because a Bikram studio is a particularly lovely place to spend 90 minutes a day but because without it, they would be angry, inflexible, immobilized, fatigued, intolerant, petty, pained, and maybe even dead. So I can stand on that pulpit for 10-12 minutes and talk about the Holy Ghost without passing out or hyperventilating. (I am really trying to talk myself into this!)
Well for now I must boil me some eggs for the week and visit someone from the ward that needs a smile--its about all I can give with the time that I have :)
Tulu
(thats how they say goodbye in India since I am getting geared up for my trip!)
