On Being Grateful

As I left class today, in a cloud of gratefulness for the practice and how good it makes me feel, Greg offered me a cookie, I cood take it from Ganesh, Shiva or Manju. I went straight for Shiva cause lately I am into doing what scares me.

Then, after I showered and was leaving, I heard him sing the chants, but no students where with him, so he was singing alone. What a statement!, chanting happens with or without students.

I am so grateful to have such a dedicated and amazing teacher as Greg.

Thank you, God.

  1. i'm confused. your teacher gave you a cookie and you gave it to siva, or you consider greg your siva? and why did you not chant along with him?

  2. Good point, I should write slower...

    Greg puts cookieso on the altar, sometimes, as an offering, but he does not leave them there forever, so sometimes he asks students to take them, after they have been in the altar for a while.

    On this particular day there were three cookies one in each little altar.

    As per the chanting, it starts at nine, and I need to get to work, so not everybody can stay after practice and chant, that is why
