DECEMBER 6^TH, 2008:  My friend Jennifer is in Paris right now.  Like the song goes I love Paris in the Spring time but I also love it in the Summer, Fall. Anytime really.  I like it most because of the feeling of wonder you cultivate looking and feeling part of some place with so much history. Along with the fact the pace of life and even walking are slower.  Being on the right side of the brain is a little like being on the Left Bank in Paris relaxing while watching the passing show, listening to music on the corner, savoring a rich glass of wine. It’s a place to sit around and wonder about it all. And of course most importantly to slow down. 

During yoga class we get to try out the art of being. We sit in wonder of it all in the moment and practice breathing.  Or like Ludwig Wittgenstein says, “That the world is, is the mystical.”  “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and science. Whosoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes dimmed.”– Albert Einstein

So today put the left brain down, get into your body ruled by the right side of the brain and just sit in awe of the relationship between things.  Live in wonder of your own life! Don’t forget when you love your life, your life will love you back!  Silvia
