here's the update: L has gone back to training in Oxford with Tom Myers...she’s in the homestretch- graduation is july 3rd! i've spent most of the last few days around home watching nearly every world cup game. so today i've changed that by following advice to get out- which technically i’ve already done ;-)- and am now at 'first out cafe' near tottenham crt. road. i’m a fan.
later today, along with everyone in england, i’m going to watch the 2 football games. to answer the big question of which game i’ll watch (believe it or not i’ve been asked quite a few times) ill probably watch england on the tv and have the US game on my laptop.
to balance my excessively verbose previous blog-thought, my musing for today is short and sweet (and oh so true).

pleasurable things cause strong attachments
handstand, without a doubt, is a pleasurable thing. the empowerment is easy to get attached to.
when i do handstand in an attempt to flare my ego or purely to attain that pleasure, the attachment to the asana prevents it’s expression, thus i fall.
on the flip side, when i approach it as just another asana, or another expression of breath if you will, then at this point i generally have it down (or up?!).
essentially, handstands keep it real- so do them a lot :)
