Saturday, July 31

Today, the plan takes shape.  We will be enjoying a green smoothie each morning.  For lunch we will explore, discover, and enjoy the art of raw vegan sushi making from Renee Loux's book "Living Cuisine:  The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods."  In the mid- to late-afternoon, I will endeavor to make a new raw food entree each day like Julie from the movie "Julie and Julia."  Each evening we will savor a raw dessert.

Within this plan, I already feel familiarity, structure, predictability, creativity, possibility, playfulness, and joy!  I will hold the yogic concentration of both sthira (steady alertness) and sukha (lightness and ease).  I know the Sanskrit word for asana means "to stay", "to be", "to sit", or "to be established in a particular position."  I will "be" in the limitation of the commitment to eat only living foods, but I will open myself to its vast potential.
