Yoga. 17 or so people. Same as ever, just about ready to jump screaming out of my skin for the first 15 minutes, and by the time we end with nap pose I'm all blissed out. Whatever. The balance pose was a challenge for my left side today -- didn't exactly fall down, but....

Tennyson's Ulysses

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in the old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal-temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
