"Are you there God? It's me, Kisha." - Day 2

The title of this post is the first thing that came to mind after tonight's yoga class.

Class was crowded.  Like "I don't know your name but I know your ass and feet" crowded. It was insane but it worked.  Somehow or another it worked.  And when you have that many people in a room doing yoga in a room that is about 100 degrees, your energy can get sapped real quick. Combine this with cranky muscles and you have a recipe for growth.

I was able to do about 85% of the class but I had to take breaks.  And that is okay.  Yoga is a practice.  The more I take classes the more I am okay with not hitting every pose or making it through class without stopping.  It helps me realize that I am okay everyday, even if it doesn't look like yesterday.  Lesson learned.

In other news, I went to Target after class tonight to see what workout swag I could score.  While there, I was approached by two women who wanted to recruit me for their church.  The card I was given had the address in my old neighborhood in Manhattan.  When I mentioned this, they proceeded to tell me that they are no longer at that location.  They now have a bible study that meets in the Pizza Hut dining area at Target. On Thursdays at 7:30p.

Yeah, okay...

While they seemed to be nice women (one had really great teeth), I told them that I am not a Christian per se.  I dig Jesus because Jesus was a radical and I appreciate radicals. However, I see Jesus as a prophet just as I see Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, the deities of Ife, etc.  All religions/spiritual beliefs point to the truth, the Source of all life, the Higher Power, the Creator.  It is up to us to decide what path to the truth we take.

"You encourage you to keep an open mind."
"My mind is already opened.  How do you think arrived at my current beliefs"
"Maybe we should meet for coffee or tea and discuss life."
"Hmmm...no.  But I do thank you for stopping by and speaking with me.  It takes a lot of courage to approach people in public, especially as they are shopping for sports bras in the clearance rack."

Maybe this was the answer to my question.
