Did an hour of yoga tonight...because I needed to, and to help me sleep...but I am still awake! I was lying there thinking of something I read in Yoga journal that I think is so profoundly brilliant. It is regarding envy, and here is an excerpt:
"Forget about the person you envy. Forget about what she has that you wish were yours. Look instead at the energy that feeling is made of, and you'll notice that nothing in the feeling has any real solidity. Perhaps, at that moment, you might open to the insight that the energy forming and dissolving within your mind and heart is not really separate from the energy around you. Perhaps, at that moment, you might realize that the person you envy is not really someone separate from you; that you lack nothing because you are, at your deepest core, part of a vast field of energy that contains potentially everything you could ever want or need."
