I made you a mix tape…it’s all about death.

I am sitting in my hotel room in Hartford, listening to The Mountain Goats and reading Stretch.
I like Stretch. My favorite moment in it is when he’s freaking out about teaching his first class and his wife tells him to “Detach.”
“‘HOW CAN I DETACH WHEN I’M GOING TO FAIL?’ I shouted.”
That made me smile.
In about an hour February will be over and so will Feb.U.Yoga. I made this playlist for Feb.U.Yoga. The other day I realized that most of the songs on the playlist are about death.
“Huh” I thought. “Most of these songs are about death.”
Then I was talking about this with Kelly and she said something like “Yoga is about death.” Maybe she didn’t exactly say that–I wasn’t taking notes, I was eating a scone. But she said something like that.
Anyway, what she said was something to the effect that, being in each moment, we are fully alive, but that means we have to die and transform with each new moment.
“Huh.” I thought. “Kelly is really smart.”
So, anyway, if you want a copy of the mix, talk to me and I will let you know how to get one. It’s good. It’s all about death.
