I go through Kim’s email as part of my job (not all of it, just relevant info to marketing and programs.) And occasionally, I find a gem like this..
This is a blip from one of Kim and Rob’s recent G-chat convos. It gives such a great “OMG!” style Kim comm that I just have to share it. All of the “me:’s” below are Kim.
me: i never feel ready before a class
stil
Rob: wow
me: still after all thiese years
i feel like eeee
what if it all falls apart midway!
Rob: does that feeling go away once you start a class?
me: what if i can’t communicate what i really know i need to say today?
yes it does
as soon as it starts
as you as you settle
as open up
constriction = dumb thoughts like that
Rob: right
me: openness = accepting them and going with them
saying “hi there, thoughts! you are weird and i’m glad you are here”
Rob: : )
me: “but time is a’ticking and these students are waiting”
“so be quiet and let’s do this thing”
drug it up

My job is to teach, and to run a business based on, the stilling of the mind’s fluctuations, so today passing the rite aid on U Street was a challenge. 
A big sign I’ve never seen before was right there on the front door:
20% discount on all drugs!
This means two things to me. 1) Demand side: People are less able to afford the drugs they have been prescribed by their doctors, who by and large prescribe these “remedies” for the symptoms of disease, rather than for the disease and/or its cause , and 2) Supply side: The free market (and recession) is driving this sale in order to keep drug-buying traffic high at Rite Aid.
Yoga and its sister science, Ayurveda, or China’s Acupuncture, or even walking 15 minutes a day (possibly to yoga class), could render these discounts–and the RiteAid drug counter itself–utter failures.
all we have to do is use these ancient approaches to health and treat our bodies not as inconveniences when malfunctioning, but rather as messengers of the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
