burden of the body

As long as you are subject
To a life bound by force of habit,
You are not free from the
Burden of the body.

- Kuei-Shan (771-854)


I went to pole class this morning!! I can see that my body has relaxed into a less-fit shape. The clothes I wear to pole classes are clinging a little more. Bummer. But, fortunately, as I keep going to classes, I will start trimming this junk off of my hips and everywhere else. My friend Brittany went to class with me. It was her first, and I am so excited to have a buddy to go to classes with me!

As far as the quote, this one was perfect for today. I am reading Siddartha by Herman Hesse, and the combination of that book, the quote, and what's going on in my life is making me very aware of the great opportunity I have, RIGHT NOW, to change my habits and become more free of the burden of my body, as well as the burden of my emotional, and relationship habits.

I'm looking forward to what the next phase of my life will bring. :)
