Digesting it all….

Creaky bones Jones. Damnit, I don’t want to feel older. I don’t want to feel the wear and tear. A major disadvantage to starting yoga early in your twenties is by the time you’re in your thirties, you can see a stunning difference in the ability of the body to adapt.

In particular, it sucks.

I just can’t take the punishment as well. For example, a little sailing race last night and this morning my upper thoracic spine feels like solid iron. Wonderful. I paddle out once a week and now my shoulders have decided to refrain from any asana cooperation whatsoever. And somewhere in the last few weeks, my right ankle has started feeling destabilized, and my right wrist is bugging me. Creaky bones. Not enough to stop my practice, but enough to slow it the hell down. Shit.

And yeah, I’m bitching about getting older. I know. It blows. Acceptance coming. Deep sadhana.
