tried to go to yoga

[Guest guest]

No downtown trains were running from Grand

Central. I was told that unless I was an emergency worker

I could be arrested for going below 14th Street...I

also tried taking a cab. The driver told me he could

only take me to 14th Street ....and again I was

told... that unless I was an emergency worker I would be

arrested if I went below 14th.

At the 431-3738 number this morning they told me

that classes were going forward at PYS as per the

phone announcement yesterday; and to call back later

for information about where and when classes will be

tomorrow; they will handle this on a "day by day" basis.

Apparently a number of people are getting down there despite

the closing.

I got through. I took the Q train and got off at eight st. and went to the

roadblock on Lafayette street and Houston. You must produce I.D.

[Guest guest]

I wish I would have gotten through. Do you have I.D. with a lower NYC address?

I live midtown.

How was practice?

[Guest guest]

No, I live in brooklyn and my drivers license

reflects that. I just told the officer where I was going

and he let me on through. There were only a small

amount of people going through on Lafayette, so maybe

that was it. The police on Broadway were turning backs

lots of people, who were getting very frustrated.

Practice with Guruji was great as usual- its great to have

him teaching at our school, albeit under such heinous

circumstances. I haven't been in the city since sunday and it

was very difficult being there to do something "fun"

when all this is going on. I actually wasn't sure if I

would attend the rest of the workshop, and I'm still

uncertain. I had trouble breathing in the city, and I think

its more from anxiety than the large amount of smoke

in the air. I still can't believe any of this is

happening.

The 14th street barriers were down today. So I

made it to the Puck Bldg. Practice was good...full of

love, not fear. <br><br>Because my practice has been

interupted by this, I feel more in the moment....not knowing

if we will continue to practice for the rest of the

month. Not knowing if I will live another day. Before,

when I practiced I would work towards getting through

the first series in hope of doing the second series

someday. Today, I felt like I have this present moment of

practice. <br><br>As far as "fun when all this is going on"

it doesn't feel that way to me....<br>I'm mentally

and physically training to be strong so that this

"terror" doesn't ware me down.
