Who'd have thought a job came with yoga?

jasonderoga86Gotta say, I was pissed about yesterday's massacre in Maine. I still find it horrifying that this is the new normal in this country because of money, corruption, obviously racist motives, and most of all, pure hate. And I will continue to condemn this shit as long as I live. But I had a cooldown moment at work today, and I'm more chill now.
I adopted the Serenity Prayer recently, because I was totally fed up with, well, everything after Oct. 7th, when Hamas decided to wipe more than a thousand Israelis off the face of this Earth. I still have a burning hatred towards anyone, or any country, or any continent that believes they're above anyone else. That kind of ideology has stained the concept of humanity from the early ages. The very idea that someone has to end another's life because of a disagreement is the most pungent of bullshit. But I'm not even going to dwell on it anymore, because I can't change it myself. I'm NOT okay with it, but I'm not dwelling on it anymore. And maybe someday, even if not in my lifetime, someone with power will step up and say "To hell with this obsession with guns. It's time for some common sense up in this piece!"
In the meantime, along with the Serenity Prayer, I'm also grateful for today, 'cause it was my first dive into yoga of all things. I read about a lot in the past, and even a Comic Fury webcomic covered it slightly in its newest chapter. I thought it was all "bendy-stretchy" and honestly, some of the poses I saw in the past looked damn painful and nigh impossible for anyone to replicate. But today was something simple, it was seated. It made sense, since our clientele at my job are disabled people, most of them in wheelchairs. Seeing them participating in the class reminded me of the good things in life. It almost felt like I was a parent watching a baby take its first steps, for lack of a better description. And two of our clients just tied the knot, too. Not a bad day, all things considered.
So, I'm gonna look into this stuff, and I'm sure I'll benefit in terms of being at peace with myself. Ditching mainstream media has already done wonders for me, and this can only help me more. So, cheers! 😊
Peace and love to you all,
J.D.
