摩登社會的偉大發明

    好朋友A小姐在倫敦和老友重逢，譜出一段一星期的羅曼史，被我喻為"Before Sunset London Version."

 但愛情，尤其成人的愛情，雖然多了性愛這一塊刺激足以聊慰寂寞的樂趣，卻也多了很多顧忌，沒辦法像青年人一樣  

 不顧一切地，單純地去愛。

     首先是擔心對方會不會為了追求事業而還不想要"穩定的"關係，接著衡量自己可以為這段可能的關係保鮮多久。但  

 大多數的揣測和擔心都只是沙盤推演，是的，她並沒有開口問對方"我們在一起好嗎?"這樣一簡單句子。

    如果成年人的愛情可以秉持城市性愛的直接，快速和效率，或許單身男女會少掉一大半。

    赫然發現，長大以後，我們反而變得不勇敢，不直率，不坦白。顧忌太多，衡量太多，所以沒辦法純然按感覺行事。小時候照直覺走是純真，長大就變成了"蠢"真，而我希望自己維持這種傻勁不要變吧。可我知道我也已變了，在受過傷以後，變得不敢期待太多，也不敢放太多真心。我發現這已變成一個通則，流傳於城市男女之間:不等到對方表態，絕不輕易說愛。那要是雙方都不表態呢?

    女朋友J小姐說: 別忘了還有speed dating和婚友社。那裡的公正第三人會幫男女收集資料，所以當你收到"配對成功"的訊息之後，就沒有表態問題啦!

    "這真是摩登社會的偉大發明"，我說。

A 45 minute sunrise practice with Dagmar Spremberg

Was too busy to book a class today so I end up practicing at home. Luckily I found this fantastic website last time when I craved for yoga on a cold and rainy day.

Brief introduction: this is a 45-minute Vinyasa flow class for  intermediate level practice.  Great Hang music and beautiful ocean view along with the energizing movements. A really good class for waking up the body:)

Takeaways from today's class: the stretch pose after the prayer at the beginning inspired me a lot, since I have been looking for some mild stretch poses for my mom. Dagmar( the instructor in the video clip) smartly combine energizing, powerful pratices with nice stretch poses to reverse the movement and thus relax our body after the tough core poses. I like the Hang music a lot too. It's played by Daniel Gautschi, a famous artist specialized in this instrument for decades.

I am actually very exhausted today. Let me end it here.

Let us bow to ourselves to the practice today, and special thanks to Dagmar Spremberg for this wonderful class, Namaste.
