I JUST DID A HEADSTAND!!!
I JUST DID A HEADSTAND!!!
I was in bed, surfing my stream of consciousness, trying to fall asleep, when I got the impulse to do a headstand. This impulse is familiar, it comes when I’m feeling especially spiritual. I don’t know why it comes, and I’ve never followed it until now. I haven’t had faith that my stomach muscles were strong enough to pull my lower body up erect and keep it there. This time the impulse was too enticing to ignore. In the infamous words of many Indians I’ve met: Why Not?
First, I did a tripod with my knees on my elbows with my head planted on the bed. I was thrilled. I thought that was enough, but the impulse urged me further. I thought perhaps I’d do one in the café tomorrow where there were friends or at least other humans around. That idea lasted about a minute.
Looking around the darkened room, I switched directions in the bed when I noticed the foot of my bed was cradled in a nice, stable looking corner. I got back into a tripod and decided to go for it. Slowly, slowly I raised my knees. I found my balance and kept going, very slowly, until I was completely erect! I only stayed there a few seconds, long enough to know I did it. After all, I’m up on a bed in a dark room with a marble floor, 9,000 miles away from home, alone, supporting 160 pounds on my neck
*GRIN*
I think everyone in this guest house heard me cry out
HURRAY!!! :-)
