I am cold this morning in the desert. I tried to do my quigong outside but my breath would not come. I could not be in the moment. How could that be?
But I gave in and came into the warmth. Then I was able to be somewhat one with my breath and finished my morning routine. Ahhhhh! Some relief.
I am learning to relax into the mysteries of the desert and life. I am learning to embrace Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Whole Catastrophe Living – that it is about ALL of life, the good, bad, and ugly. There is a reason for everything.
Slowly, I am quieting myself. I am steadying myself, staying within myself with ease and not wandering out, lost in the desert. I have trust in myself and the universe.
I am cool in the desert this morning. I am missing the snow of home, Sheba’s happy face, our morning runs and hot chocolate after. But I am getting warmer in the desert. I am happy and content.

Hi Lily , it is a joy to read about your personal thoughts and your struggle for inner balance in this interesting surroundings. And an eye opener to me!
Thank you, Kekou! Yes, the desert is very interesting. I had not known much about it before, except it is hot and dry. But it is not entirely true. It is dry but is cold in the morning and at night. It is a good place to come to learn about yourself.
