Substitute Zen

After an hour and a half of weights and cardio, I went to my (new) usual Monday night Yoga class. There was a different instructor today; which meant Instead of normal relaxing yoga day, it was sweaty-mess Vinyasa Flow day.

Perched in Downward Dog I was watching the sweat profusely drip from my forehead, when I noticed a small orange spider diligently scampering across my blue mat. Without hesitation, or loss of balance (surprised?), I reached down killed the spider, and swept it off my mat. As I returned my hand to its sweaty mat position, I realized this was probably not ‘what Buddha would do’. That's WWBD if you’ve seen the bracelets - the Hindu version comes in a four pack. Hope I don’t come back as a little orange spider.
