The time is 11:30pm as I start this, my second blog. I am sitting in my circle chair, Christmas tree lights shining across the room, watching Breaking Bad. I think the show is seemingly ridiculous, convinces me running a drug empire would be quite difficult, but the character development is my favorite. Watching Mr. White change back and forth into Heisenberg is fascinating, “I am the danger”. “Say my name”. Great lines. Have you watched the show? I am curious about your thoughts. Favorite character? I am a bit late to this party. So many blogs and posts have been written about the show. Speculating motives, breaking down the bad. Debating whether or not Walt was justified, if Jesse was a victim. I won’t do that. I like the psychology behind the actions. The whys,

Flight

So last we spoke I was heading to aerials. Here’s some background. I started aerials in August of 2021. Actually, my first circus experience was with a pole fitness course. I did not enjoy the experience so I tried aerials silks. It was love at first success. The teacher made the experience worthwhile. I struggled to pull up my own body weight, to understand how to do basic moves, to really do anything requiring flexibility. My teacher was patient, celebrated my successes and helped me believe in my capability. My confidence grew as did my strength and ability to advance in levels. I am forever grateful.

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

– Leonardo Da Vinci.

Aerials has become a form of mediation for me. Being in the air, learning how to simply be, focus on my movements has helped to create stillness in my life. Create a time and space where I forget any doubts, fears and just live, exist. I am learning to find my flow, grace, and be delicate. Honestly something I never thought I was capable of, grace, flow, lines. The grace of a dancer.  I still do not have it, but I am working on. Working on my flexibility, my strength, working on making my movements seem effortless.

That’s all for now. Today is a day of relaxation.
