It is all a mind game isn't it? Really it is better to have silence and solitude sometimes, it is only when we are seeking to mingle with the crowd (so to speak) when what we want doesn't match the reality... and at those times it is hard to be satisfied with silence and solitude...
They say that there is more Yoga being done off the mat than on the mat... I would have to agree with that...

I know what you mean about "sitting in the corner." I find myself in that place a lot when I go to like training or something where I don't really know anyone. I find it better to just kind of keep to myself and enjoy the solitude a little. But there are those occasions where I kind of open up to folks and get involved in some kind of conversation or something. I really have no problems meeting new people generally. I'm a pretty friendly guy. I just choose not to by default a lot of times. I just sit quietly with my thoughts and am content to do so. It was this that ultimately led to me moving home from California. I met people... and hung out with them sometimes... but most of the time I sat by myself in the condo. I missed my family and friends and finally moved back to Texas.
That's interesting what you say about Yoga being done off the mat. I never considered anything like that. But then I don't know much about Yoga either.
By the way, Good Morning to you sir! I hope you are doing well. Keep posting and Merry Christmas to you.

Hey Travis!
Really excellent to see you not only read my blog but post comments to it! :) (especially since over half of my posts are Yoga related and probably not too easy to follow...)
Maybe you will be able to relate to part 2 of this I am posting today (or at the very least...soon ;) ).
It is good that you are able to sit content with your thoughts, often (maybe most often) I am not, especially when my mind wants to be connected with others, it is hard to go back to enjoying the solitude then.
It doesn't matter how many people we meet in a foreign place (that could be just 1 state from our home) there is that need to be back home yes? I feel that now, I just want to go home even though I would really like to be here until March or April (so many courses to take, and they are (mostly) so cheap compared to America...
"Yoga off the mat"... I don't know I can explain what I mean by that in a sentence... maybe I should have a seperate post on that subject?
Good morning to you too, Sir! :)
Hope you are having a wonderful time in your home and that you have a super holiday/Christmas...:)
