I taught my last class yesterday for the year thinking it would be a small and quiet one, but I was pleasantly surprised when many familiar and encouraging faces joined in at the last hour. They created an uplifting and positive energy, which to me, is a perfect epilogue for a full year of hard work and effort. Thank you!
There is a saying that kinship is not measured by blood ties, but by the joy and respect we have in each other's lives. I thought about my family and friends who were always supportive and who's steadfast presence never failed to ground me. It warmed my heart to just recall their faces and laughter, and I know from the deepest core of my being they are the ones who truly matter, not anything else.
On 2 Dec, my sister and bro-in-law had their first child - my niece. And the most amazing thing is she has my eye lashes that curls; We are now the only two in the family who have that. No words could describe how I feel to have this little love creation by the two wonderful people I love so much bearing my genes. It's almost god's gift; magical and heavenly...
I am blessed, and I bow, in abundance of gratitude for lovely Sharon whom I love, and loves me like a sister; Devon who is always able to cut through frills and tell me exactly what I need to hear; And Paul, a unique friendship built across the Indian Ocean, always heart warming and encouraging. Then there was Brian, who took a dramatic exit from my life but nonetheless a talented artist and a great companion whom I shared most with; And Rene, a sweet soul concealed within the privacy of his intellect, who's short presence filled up a void for both of us, and would soon be sailing off to fulfill his life long dream.
There were also my teachers Patrick, Desiree, Jonas and David, where inspiration and wisdom I constantly tabbed into. And the kula of yogis and yoginis, of which some became real friends whom I grew so fond of.
All things in life are of impermanence. Treasure them while they are around and thank them when they leave. It has been a wonderful 2008, crippling and touching moments all simmered into a well of bliss. And 2009 will be even better. Just go with the flow.
"Thank You, again!"
