Made it to another yoga class today - am pretty content with all the stretching I've been doing as opposed to jumping in and trying to do crazy poses. Very good way to start the day. 2 for 2 in my goal of 5 classes in one week. Gee, what a sparkling accomplishment! Hit the farmer's market just before it closed, got the last 2 heirloom tomatoes - they're expensive but they actually taste like tomatoes are supposed to taste! Actually, I think I got 2.5 tomatoes, as one has a smaller siamese twin attached. Aren't they cute? Wrigley came along, and while he was snuffling crackers off the floor of someone's booth, I discovered someone selling goat cheese made from their herd of 33 goats in Buckeye, AZ. Sweet! Although I'm working towards being vegan, I'm also interested in finding healthy animal products from animals that are treated, well, like family. Eggs from chickens in someone's back yard, cheese from goats living on a small, attentive farm... there's also a buffalo farm in Buckeye that I'm dying to check out.Came home to find an interesting PBS show, Global Voices, on the Cuban revolution through the eyes of photographers. The universe is definitely sending me specific things right now. This morning before yoga, there was a segment on CBS Sunday Morning about a holy event at a specific part of the Ganges river, which happens only every 12 years, and that 50 million people attend over the course of three months. Intriguing and unexpected. And just a few days ago, Mom talks about how I need to go to Kauai (well, yeah) and visit the Hindu temple. There have just been a few signposts along the path reminding me of thoughts and things that are important to me, that maybe I've forgotten. I'm certainly not pursuing organized religion, but it's hard to deny the meaningful thoughts communicated through Buddhism and similar religions/spiritual paths.
