yoga & yogurt yo

So, I've started making yogurt again.
I was making it for years, that and my own flour, bread and baked goods as well as my own pasta and I juiced a lot of things.
During that time, which I lovingly refer to as my sort of transcendental years. That was when I read a lot of poetry and became involved in holistic approach to life. I took time to enjoy nature and wasn't involved in much technologically. I listened to a lot of Cocteau Twins of course and other ethereal. I was moved by books from the well known transcendentalist movement. I even read sci-fi books by authors such as George Orwell, Issac Isamov and even a modern author Clive Barker.
I was so moved that during that time, I began writing a book. My idea was so original and I was so proud. It seems that everything in my life was telling me this story and I just had to write it all down. It was almost completely engrossing at times. My idea involves a girl much like me, in fact it was about a lot of things I'd been through. The thing is that it was also sci-fi in nature but not until the reader is truly exposed to as many facets of the character to have brought it into reality.
I had two spiral notebooks filled with the story/saga when I saw an advertisement for a movie that sounded familiar but still dry.
I saw this movie, as I'm sure you have too, and I cried. That was my story and if I end up publishing it people will think that I'm a hack.
So I burned it. :( Both notebooks burned to ashes.
I may try that again someday because my story is better and more relate-able.

the movie .....Matrix. Again, my story is better and doesn't slip off into some techno fight epic. My story based in the here and now and I've even come up with more details than that story. Plus truly, mine was first. My husband read it before I burned it and he said that it was so out there and it was so good.

Making yogurt again has inspired me. I've taken my journey back here.I've done some wild things and let myself get out of control at times. Just like high school I think back in amazement about the fact that I'm still alive.
I can't workout like I did then. I miss rollerblading especially. With MS though I become fatigued easily. Instead, I've found Yoga. It's relaxing and at the same time strengthening. As a Christian,I have refused to use any of the yoga verbiage. There is power in words, spoken or thought. I've told this to my personal instructor and she is fine with that. She's told me that I'm not the only person that has said this. I think it's time to form a new exercise term for those that do not welcome that type of energy.

Well I've gone on for a good bit. I'll keep you all updated.
for now...thank you for reading.
