I decided to sleep in this morning, meaning I slept untill 10 to 7. Dreamt that Johannes (my partner) came and woke me up. He was wearing his rainjacket and his yellow safety-vest, and he asked me to get up, because he had broken a bottle in the kitchen, so I got up and followed him.

In the kitchen there were two of them, the one with the jacket and one completely naked. He looked confused and was standing in the water from the broken bottle. The one with the jacket said, I have to leave for work. The one who was naked searched frantically for a bit of broken glass. I put on my high heels to help him look. Then I woke up.

When Johannes really came to say goodbye I told him about the dream, and he said, that I should write more. Oh, and I would like to. But it's not that simple. Life seems to get in the way of my creativity. In my world work shouldn't take up so much time, but it does. And just all the stuff life is made up off takes time. And the creative process of writing takes time...at least it does for me.

There is this poster on the wall in Yoga Mudra, where it says something like: It's Your Life. Do What you Want. If you don't like your Job, quit it. Live Your Dream. Travel. Have Fun.

And so on.

First of all for most of us it's not that simple. We are torn between our responsibilities and our dreams, and I guess part of what I teach is to try to stay in touch with those two ends of our realities, to not forget the magic of our lives. To not just get into the rut of things and trot on like rats. To not get heavy and grown-up and responsible and depressed. To have dreams and visions and creativity. To stay playful. But it if we keep this alive, than we don't have to up and leave and indeed thinking that we should, could just make us more unhappy.

and then it is also a very priviliged perspective, because what about all the people in the world who really don't have a choice. No choice.

here is something wrong with our world,  but now for the cushion. Have a wonderful day!

May you be grounded and connected
may you be at peace
may you be joyful and creative
