My 'bucket list', or, things I want to have happen before I die is actually longer.
Much longer.
But some of the things in it I rather not disclose.
Why? You ask,
Because a woman's heart is like an ocean,
whose secrets go deep into the underworld,
and therefore,
cannot possibly be revealed risking a reader who does not swim.
So, before I go up in flames (no burial please),
and reach for the light, cross the river of forgetfulness,
and merge with what IS,
I would like to, please:
Be happy
Be healthy
Be fully present
Be a student of yoga, always
Respect my cycles
Respect my cycles
Teach in a dedicated, sweet energy, crowded Mysore room
Release the "pain body"
Write at least 20 more books
Win an Oscar
Be the radiant woman I am, always
Come from wisdom, center, peace and discrimination
Do my practice
Intend then Detach
Want less things
Take my time
Take my time
Give a hand where I can
Love my Husband, always
Love the children around me and family and all people too
Express gratitude, daily

Yours is simply beautiful, and it reminds me that I need to go back to mine and strike off those items that don't matter as much....
Beautiful list Claudia, especially loved "Want less things."
