My yoga class was amazing tonight. It's been awhile since I've hit the mat. My teacher Amme, who I adore and make an extra effort to make class on Tuesdays because I love her so much, had some major news. At the end of the class, she pulled me aside and told me she is pregnant and moving to London, where her husband is from. She was glowing, and I am so happy for her!
Amme also played a song during class called "Coconut Skins" by Damien Rice, as we were kicking up the wall for handstands. I was in the best mood because my brother recently put this song on a CD he made me, and it makes me so happy. She pointed out my favorite line of the song: "Tell 'em God just stopped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt." Which basically could translate to: Everything is going to be alright, just keep smiling and and believing and being yourself. Amme has been such a positive influence on my spirit these past few months... what am I going to do without her?

Damien Rice is, without a doubt, one of the most talented songwriters I've come across in the last ten years. I was turned on to him when I heard "The Blower's Daughter" featured on the excellent film "Closer", and since then I've gone out of my way to track down everything he's recorded, including a number of interesting and engaging b-sides and live performances. Yeah. I'm a little obsessive about music. Anyway, if you're into Rice, you should check out folks like Joe Purdy, Jackie Greene, Antje Duvekot and Patty Griffin (if you haven't done so already). The More You Know, and all that.
