i (used to) drink more coffee just to breathe more air
post (official) mother’s day, sheila and i resume our texas to vermont prep with appts in austin
after our pre 8am initial chore of the day, off for coffee & breakfast
i used to drink coffee all day, even thought for a while i could successfully drink away my over-do-coffee-drinking via decaf ;-( yuk 😉
now i enjoy my morning coffee
this morning, my hot coffee, away from home, was especially tasty
the aroma & special blend at our fav tex-mex cafe in south austin, curra’s grill, was perfect with their famous breakfast tacos
my first sip was welcomely familiar – from the old days 😉
hot & fresh, i backed away, took a deep pausing breath, then carefully sipped again, and an older familiarity, from the old-old days hit me
i realized, my way to breathe more deeply back then, was to slurp more air in as i sipped my coffee!
after i cut my all-day coffee binges back to mornings, when i enjoy it most, i slowly got the habit of breathing in the aroma in a full breath between sips
i knew i was substituting a breath for another drink of coffee, excess coffee
i didn’t know then how important those new deeper breaths were for me, wasn’t aware how they grounded me in myself
yoga wasn’t teaching me this formally –
yoga as life, correcting-enhancing itself in me, was…
what’s remarkable to me, now that i’m more consciously involved with yoga, is how yoga helped me, so suddenly, be aware of all this that i write of today
yes, wake up and smell the roses, uh, coffee 😉
definitely the dance of life…
namaste – con dios – god be with you
