All sets of feet thudded to the front of the mat.
The sound rose up from the wood floor. Loud. Anti-yogi. Like movers dropping furniture to the ground.
Say “hop forward” to a class in plank pose, and this is what happens.
But we jump into our lives that way too. Most of us move
like we’re dispatching an emergency response team. We speed carelessly through tasks that will get us to the next best thing. Type the keyboard harshly. Toss things in the trunk. Slam the door. Stack
precious dishes without care. Clanking. Clattering. Making lots of unnecessary noise.
It was just after the foot thunder when the instructor's voice echoed softly through the room. “Do not act haphazardly,” Roger advised us in that
soft, knowing way of his.
Isn't that something to think about? When you act with intention, it's next to impossible to rush. In purposefulness, everything has a purpose.
