my wednesday night yoga teacher often gives us a theme at the beginning of class - something to think about as we sweat through the poses.  i really like this - a 90 minute meditation on a topic.

tonight she started class by talking about the bombings in boston and saying: "let us be thankful for our sound minds and strong bodies."

yoga is hard, but as i practiced tonight i was reminded that i am lucky to be able to work that hard with these strong limbs and this sound mind.
