Coming out of Jet Lag Fog

“More and more of us feel like emergency-room physicians, permanently on call, required to heal ourselves but unable to find the prescription for all the clutter on our desk.”

– Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere

Jet Lag means being up at 3 am for no good reason so … thought this celebrated travel writer can enlighten me:

“In the age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow.  In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention.

And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.

You can go on vacation to Paris or Hawaii or New Orleans three months from now, and you ‘ll have a tremendous time, I ‘m sure.  But if you want to come back feeling new – alive and full of fresh hope and in love with the world – I think the place to visit may be Nowhere.”

I’m home – my other home.  It’s also a bit of Gertrude Stein speak: ” There’s no there there … ” – Home is wherever there’s people you care about – here or there.

World Cup !

Did you know?

“The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world, exceeding even the Olympic games; the cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet.”

Per wikipedia

And YES, there’s such practice as Yoga for Soccer Players.  With their intense Yang practice, the antidote for “sustenance” and longevity – that is, injury prevention … is … the Yin-centric yoga practice to balance out the regimen.  Happy to share !
