Certainly, my computer has cut into my sense of independence--as have a number of other things--how far I've come since the days when I'd set out indefinitely with nothing that couldn't fit into a backpack. Now, I take far more than that on a weekend trip...including, of course, the laptop...which seems increasingly central to most of my activities...one of the first things I do in the morning is turn it on, and one of the last is to turn it off...hmmmm, I may have to turn this comment into a blogpost of my own, as I seem to go on and on and haven't even touched on your very astute points about yoga, the body, and self-awareness. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration....YogaforCynicshttp://yogaforcynics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384782695584867387.post-88030398397041274682009-03-27T12:52:00.000-07:002009-03-27T12:52:00.000-07:00Discarding in itself is not inherently bad -- even...Discarding in itself is not inherently bad -- even in relationships, as there may be times when a relationship is harmful. However, we tend to "move on" too much, it seems. We look for what's "better" -- or will serve us more. We look for others to change rather than examining our true selves and our reactions. <BR/><BR/>Commitment is such a vital component in human relationships at every level, including the commitment of a yoga studio to its teachers. When one looks to foster prosperity in one's life, being in a position of giving leaves one's hand open to receive as well. Creativity can solve many things that seem to derail prosperity.<BR/><BR/>Namaste, Brooks. Your writing and yoga classes are beautiful.

But I think, as you say, there are two sides. Computers can provide opportunities for better connection and self-awareness. But after my anusara immersion, because I'd been writing with a pen so much, I went back to writing physically everyday. As with the yoga practice, there is nothing quite like physical creation.RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229168317354334361noreply@blogger.com
