Poetry in motion... that's what I used to be when doing my morning yogas and running sveltely alongside the sea. But now my routine stretch gets me twisted like some vetch, looking more like fodder for a compost heap than Venus's daughter. I remember when the full lotus was not so far from reach... only a short sliding movement away. It's just part of my fantasy today. Oh well, even pristine waters can become fouled downstream when they allow themselves to puddle and pool into stagnant collecting ponds. Now stretch and breathe and one, two, three, lift those arms, move those thighs, point your toes straight to the skies! Who are you kidding? LOL, just another day in recovery from the Body Un-Electric and AM Yoga Pretzel exercises. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (05-15-2003 03:44 PM).] |

Kacy, isn’t it amazing how slow our metabolism gets as we age... You have to exercise more and eat less, just to break even...lol But the days I don’t work out, I just don’t feel as good... Oh well, it’s almost time to get on the treadmill and watch the playoffs... Go San Antonio!! I’m not so much a Spurs fan as I am an anti Laker fan... It’s a Northern California thing... lol I’m actually a Sacramento King fan, but they come on after... Hang in there Kacy... All we can do is the best we can... Wonderful poem! Richy |

 (smiles) Nah, yoga ain't my cup of tea, or chai in that matter, but in Latin dances, oh yeah, I can find a lot of valuable poetic resources there! (big hugggsssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, every poet's gotta work off those mundane muse carbohydrates and seize the day, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

I wish I could excercise, now. My leg isn't very good anymore. I don't think I could do any. |

Kacy, Yeah right 5:00 a.m.! That's a good one. I'm riding my bike five miles a day. Will that do? Just trying to get in shape for that camel ride you promised. Although a ride on the matt might be fun! |

LARRY! LOL. You really ride 5? I'm walking 2-3 per day, and YES, I'm usually up at 5AM. But not necessarily by choice. You'd be surprised at what is on TV at 5AM.Trying to visualize a camel ride...on the mat.  |

I had actually been contemplating taking uup yoga, but now I've changed my mind! I'm not a glutton for punishment! I'll continue with my own routine of working out at the gym when the spirit moves me, cycling when I'm in the mood, hiking when the weather is just perfect...  Love & Laughter, Linda P.S.

Oh Kacy!!! I really love this! hehe.... Those exercise can sometimes kill us, so you can see I've stopped growing height-wise, and started moving length-wise...  And yes, I even agree with your "looking more like fodder for compost heap than Venus's daughter"...  Gosh, is it right to get this excited?! _,,,^.^,,,_ |
