The joy of climbing the stairs
I’ll know that I have reached enlightenment when I am as excited to climb stairs as my daughter is. But for now, I just stand behind her and watch as she giddily places one palm on the stair, then the other, one knee, then the other. She’s using her muscles in a way that have never moved before. After months of just lying around, she’s moving on her own. And she’s damn happy about it.
Learning to walk
In Yoga teacher training, we learned how to walk.
It was an actual exercise: take slow, conscious steps, and don’t lift the back foot until the front foot is completely on the floor. It’s terribly difficult for someone like me who was a fast walker before I lived in New York City for nearly a decade. I want to be on to the next step before the first one has even started.
My daughter is just over one year now.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
