I won't go into my thoughts and issues with this, but I will say that being type c, or even type d, the clean up never came to mind. This is a really thoughtful post. I was on a suicide watch(of course I ramble) and I remember someone telling me how selfish I was. At that moment I couldn't see past where I was, how low I felt. Now that I look back I see it exactly that way. Needless to say, getting to the point of contemplation and planning is a dark spot to be in. <br /><br />On a more chipper side, yoga teaching is an art, I think. One that is so awesome to be part of and at the same time to be a student of. A teacher once told me that your first 200tt hours really are just about foundation. I totally believe this. It is the start of a journey that might just deepen our own practice or help us find the next road to travel down. All good stuff. As a teacher and student, I agree that who ever is leading is as much a part of the experience as the class itself. <br /><br />I look forward to your comparison between the two yoga genres. And, I can only imagine this next round of questions from KS; they must be insightful and fabulous. <br /><br />Great post.ksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555099985275043749.post-32367009896365099252012-05-03T17:26:36.476-07:002012-05-03T17:26:36.476-07:00I've considered that finding thing, too, and I...I've considered that finding thing, too, and I'm not very enginerdy or type-A. Just considerate. It is shockingly sad news, Junior looks so happy in all those surfing photos - like life was great. He must have lost all hope. Or been ill, as chacha said. A combo, maybe. All I know is that I am very lucky that someone tried and failed (2x), because he makes me happy everyday.rrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814555443479398331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555099985275043749.post-60414904105718413312012-05-03T16:46:52.670-07:002012-05-03T16:46:52.670-07:00It sounds like you're assuming that your mind ...It sounds like you're assuming that your mind exists entirely outside the biological functions of your brain. Unfortunately, with a sufficiently progressed neurodegenerative disease, you may lose the ability to perform your type A engineer rational analysis of the consequences of your actions. YOU could never make Junior's decision, but under those circumstances YOU would cease to exist.Mr. Calveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409048670645941430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555099985275043749.post-59625325213138338132012-05-03T12:40:19.684-07:002012-05-03T12:40:19.684-07:00I totally get the engineer response of the "m...I totally get the engineer response of the "mess to clean up" - we are practical folks by nature. I think it's kind of blessing in that sense.<br /><br />It seems pretty clear to me that he was battling mental illness - perhaps in the form of severe depression. Left untreated, it's a recipe for disaster :(<br /><br />And on a more superficial note, the TT. I have never been to a Core Power Yoga class but I totally get this idea of robotic-ness. I think there is a large percentage of casual yoga practitioners that only see yoga as a physical exercise without the spiritual part. Which I suppose is fine because at least they are doing yoga! But they are missing out on the other part.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.com
