bird brain

All monkey minded during yoga in this morning’s mugginess.

Cardinal sings at the very top of a skinny birch; it’s hard to focus on my Om so I focus on his.

But my mind is slippery today and the moment it wanders, the bird is gone.

Since my Chinese astrological sign is the Fire Monkey, I try to find the positive aspects of being monkey minded. So far that basically entails surrendering to the freneticism (?) of it in hopes that it will tire itself out and lead me to a quieter and more focussed state of mind. It actually works sometimes.
