A Quantum Leap


During one of our philosophical studies, my yoga family back home at the Yoga Cove talked about the "Quantum Leap." During our monthly meetings, we delighted in practicing yoga with each other and then philosophizing. Madelon, our spiritual teacher and guide, introduced us to the "Quantum Leap," a concept I had only theorized and contemplated, until now.

To me, it's a jump, from one place, no, more like one chasm of time, wonderment and way of life, to another one in another world. It's a jump which shakes you to the core of your being, shattering all you thought you knew and believed to be true, challenging you in ways you may have never expected or experienced and at the same time, in all they ways you thought you would.

In terms of agriculture, I went from working on a 3/4th-acre school garden two days a week for 6 months to a 30-acre farm in Montana working 5 days a week. While cultivating the earth, I must keep strong, and not forget to do my yoga whenever I can. I work on the ground, though sometimes, feel like I'm still airborne, waiting to land.
