Okay, here we are.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast.

My name is Jay Brown.

Welcome to any first timers and everyone else. Thanks for lending your

ear once more. I do hope everyone is meeting this moment feeling reasonably well.

That the discordant notes have not been enough to sabotage the orchestra of your day thus far.

Which actually goes to something I've been playing with quite a lot,

where I enjoy thinking about the way my day

is unfolding or even my life is unfolding as a piece of music would, that there's a rhythm

and a tempo to it,

that there's harmony and there's discord,

and that I'm playing my part,

but I got to listen,

because if I just play my part without listening to everything that's going on,

then I'm just like playing by myself,

and I'm not playing with the orchestra of life.

But if I can find a way to play my part in a way that is fitting in, that is in time with the meter of my life and the world that I observe when I walk out the door,

not necessarily on the screens, but when I walk outside and I feel into the air and the trees and the soil and the sound of the birds,

that there's a very grand orchestra at play.

And it feels good. It feels like my life takes on a jam quality. I'm jamming out, you know?

And it's okay if you miss a beat or if you're off here for a little while, you just get back on as soon as you can. The song keeps on going.

And this viewpoint is in no small part to my guest today, Joshua Shry.
