this Thing called Love...
I've been focusing on a mental theme, as well as a physical goal when teaching classes this semester...
For me, a good class has some verbal lessons as well as some challenging poses.
As Kira reminded us, we teach what we need ourselves...
I look to combine compassion with determination.
So this last class incorporated the words from the movie I watched last weekend called Little Children.
The older woman in the movie told her son something about how humans go on through life though we know we will lose everything.
As Jaime stated in her article... "we are all on a journey on a ship that is doomed to sink."
Yet... we go on because deep-down we know the only thing we have is Love. LOVE is all there is...
I'm always amazed how the class session goes, because somehow the mental theme comes together...
not always easy since we only have an hour & most students are there for "the work-out" :-)
But I was even able to link in the movie the Titanic, keeping with the Kate Winslet theme!
There is always quite a bit of laughter... and they keep coming back, so something is happening for the better.
Still, there have been many of nights on the way home from class,
That I catch myself questioning what the !!!! am I doing??!
I ultimately whittle it down to some type of expectation...
Which always seems to humble me and allow for the compassion to heal.
As I mentioned in the last Jam Session we had...
I anticipate this to "self-reflective, doubting, mental sparring" to someday end. SOONER, rather than later!!
But I guess it would only mess up the vibe in which I find myself "co-teaching" with the Source.
If thats the case - than I can take it :-)
It seems easier to remind others of their human-ness and quite silly for me to forget my own.
But as Life shows us... it always comes back to us Full Circle,
and we realize that all we have really... is LOVE
