Hare calm

In the middle of a yoga class Monday, there I was, lying on the ground doing I can’t remember what, when I heard music. But it was all in my head: The hare rama/hare krishna chant that we teacher trainees did in class with Leah B. Saturday had bubbled up during a moment of peace and relaxation, like a silent lullaby. The funny thing is, it also bubbled up a day later at work during, shall we say, a not so peaceful and relaxing moment. It helped calm me down, as if the mantra was knocking on some sort of door to say, Remember me? Get a grip. It was nice that it popped up spontaneously, but I wondered: What if I can call it up whenever I want? Wherever I am? Sweet.
