march one.

Shavasana. It gets me every time. For those who are not familiar, it is aka the corpse pose at the end of each yoga class. It sounds so  simple -- you just lay there on your back with your eyes shut and relax. The real challenge though, is to still the mind. I sometimes find myself running through my "to-do list" of things I'll accomplish when I leave yoga. Sometimes I am really good. I listen to K and follow the instructions and my mind becomes still... for a while. Then fragments of thoughts keep messing with my stillness.

Tonight is the perfect example. I find myself in corpse pose. For the first 3/4 of shavasana I am still. I watch my breath in my mind's eye. But then, I find myself comparing the different living rooms of my old favourite sitcoms. Seriously - where does this stuff come from? I was comparing Growing Pains and Who's the Boss. Both houses you enter the front door at the left of the screen. When you walk in the door, the stairs are immediately to the left for the characters. Move inside a bit and it is the living area, and then (and I am almost certain here) you go through a swinging door into the kitchen which is at the right of the screen. I thought about this for a while. I also remember the Golden Girls and Mr Belvedere having a similar set-up. and I think Out of this World did too. Do you think they reused the sets?

Coming home, I promptly did a living room search for these sitcoms, but I surprisingly couldn't find any screen shots. What I did find was something quite rad. Someone on the same wavelength as me perhaps. I love it.

Go!
