Yes, this is not a blame game. Deepak didn't do anything like making me feel guilty or feel bad to bring on an unusual action that I have not done in almost 10-years. He does not believe in stress or things that our minds can conger up. We do that our selves. Not to get sidetracked here with Deepak, but as a result of seeing an interview with him this week, it struck a note that rang clear as a bell in my head.
If you are not an NBA fan, you might or might not know that last nights home game at the AAC was Dirk Nowitzki's final home game after 21 seasons. The big German came to the Mavs from Germany when he was 20 and was a class act on and off the court during those years. His sister and his father were here from Germany to see him score the 30 points in the final game at home. The Mavs had an amazing presentation for him and the emotions were heavy throughout the ACC and across the land and around the world as his fans said good bye. At the end of the game, the team packed up and took the 4 to 5 hour bus ride to San Antonio for tonights game, the last game of the season. Dirk will play that as his final game overall, and last night at the AAC was his final home game and the announcement that he would be retiring. Number 41 has made history many times and his jersey will be retired as well, not to be worn in a Mavs game ever again. While I am more of a basketball fan than I let on, I was set to watch the game tonight from San Antonio. But, something came over me and I really felt a type of anxiety come over me that is not normal for me. So, I dressed again for travel and, grabbed my water bottle and camera case and pointed the car toward the lake. Since this afternoons trip with the high winds, I like to listen to the wind sing on the cords that hoist the sails up on the sailboats; in Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, mermaids, who lured nearby sailors with their Alkonost · Banshee · Circe to their death. The vibrating sounds are somewhat soothing to listen to. Often, I will park for a few extra minutes when high winds blow.
In the short drive to the Big Thicket,, I was stunned to see two big limbs (these limbs were the size of most 60 year old tree trunks are round) down on the parking lots where the kayak rental sets up and a short distance on down the road. They had been twisted off. With high wind warnings, extended to 10 PM these limbs had been brought down since I left the lake earlier this afternoon and my return near sunset.
So, Deepak had demostrated how to wash away any kind of anxiety or stress. It was just what I needed and I'm glad that I made the extra trip tonight.
