I’ve been without internet since Friday ;( Still I am without! It comes down to such a small small reason yet it is still not fixed! Oh, patience….a virtue that my father did not have, nor do I! That is the reason for delay in zee blog, and email communication….Hopefully all will be resolved soon!

On a good note, practice was quite lovely! I am progressing day by day; day by day…I feel the internal and external growth. I am so grateful! When I’m back home I may get to practice with a friend every now and then, but most practices are done alone. This is alright for a portion of the year, but I find it necessary to check in with my teacher because this growth I experience in the shala in the presence of Sharath is truly priceless!

It has been a busy day of little….sadly… I have had to wait...wait...wait...wait at my flat for water service, laundry service, internet service…and here in India time is just not as precious to people as it is back home. The internet guys said they would be here at 12pm, then 1pm. After arriving randomly after 1pm and confirming it was not working they fiddle faddled around for a bit before letting me know it would be working inside 4pm. Well 4pm came and went - I was told (after I made several phone calls) that it will be sometime after 5:30 or 6pm before I can hope to have internet. It is now after 8pm as I sit at Anu's typing away.....So now I am supposed to have restored connection sometime after 10:30am tomorrow! Patience….A virtue I wish I’d been given at birth…a virtue I am gaining Slowly through the practice…a virtue I long to have!

So – to all of you out there with tons of patience – ROCK ON! I for one think you are a blessed individual!

Om Shanti
