I meditate on the beach in the morning with my 80 year old friend/neighbor. Twice this week, we have dared to get too close to the water and have gotten drenched. I hope that when Im 80 I will be meditating on the beach getting drenched by the surf. Last week in jail I talked to the women about recklessness, how knee jerk reacting and not taking time to consider consequences can lead to bad things in life, just as recklessly going into a yoga pose can cause injury to the body. This week Im going to talk about courage. It takes a lot of courage to endure incarceration--and it takes courage to begin a yoga practice when you are incarcerated, as a body at rest tends to stay at rest. So those women have to overcome what some would find crippling inertia to come and do yoga.
