A missed schedule moves Management to hunt for an Engineer's head. Some of us know Management should shoulder a big part of the blame... but we're too smart(?) to say THAT. Instead, it's all finger pointing amongst the Engineers. I feel like I've wasted hours dealing with negative drivel. If I work at letting go in yoga, I think I can transition the same way of being into my daily life... and hopefully work relationships won't be irreparably harmed... because I do like what I do.O'Sheanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540195731025718534.post-80265627770722444802009-05-26T09:45:07.927-06:002009-05-26T09:45:07.927-06:00Deep in Ponga Drops, Nicaragua, I found myself str...Deep in Ponga Drops, Nicaragua, I found myself struggling to stay alive. The biggest waves the size of two mack trucks stacked on top of each other were heading my way one after another... I was exhausted to the point of drowning, every muscle and will to live that I had relied upon all my short 26 years had failed...my time had come. A noble death I thought, doing something that I have grown so much with. Surfing, the eternally humbling sport that hadn't yet transcended to its spiritual significance for me, was in every way, my best teacher. And then it happened, struggling turned into acceptance, fighting turned into LETTING GO, and I sank toward the depths of the great blue. Our Mother Ocean responded and in a flash of insight all significance came to me and from somewhere above a light streamed through my third eye and my seventh chakra was lifted as if by a chord. I was brought to the surface to be met by a friend who helped me through...crashing mack trucks on my back all the way back to earth...I crawled taking large mouth fulls of sand and tears from my eyes met sweat already beading from my forehead...I was reborn. A man of spirit, filled with gratitude and love for letting go..<br />Anthony Baron Kirk abaronkirk@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540195731025718534.post-12498354675350913202009-05-25T20:16:02.150-06:002009-05-25T20:16:02.150-06:00Ah.. letting go.

But in my heart, the pain of a broken relationship is still there. I wanted that relationship to continue and though I have shifted into the changed relationship and have felt and expressed lots of gratitude for having this relationship, I know that I still cling. I guess the letting go for me is my expectation that I will emotionally be at a certain point at a certain time. I see myself more clearly and I allow myself to process the pain, the frustration, the loss as it comes to me. If I can't fully let go of this romantic relationship, at least I can let go of my judgments of not letting it go. Thanks Scott for sharing yourself so fully every week.<br />Aline DevaudUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320073193657269337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540195731025718534.post-66555519114035225192009-05-25T20:14:19.742-06:002009-05-25T20:14:19.742-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320073193657269337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540195731025718534.post-57257116851031338902009-05-25T08:04:54.038-06:002009-05-25T08:04:54.038-06:00Thank you, Scott, for a wonderful entry.
