Post #681: Indigo Girls - "Galileo" - Rites of Passage

I had to laugh at myself a bit as I admitted to a friend that I am fairly certain that I had been attempting to multi-task relaxation.  It sounds ridiculous... I know that... but just read my little tale.

You see, I have been practicing guided meditation ever since January when this same friend told me about a fantastic meditation app.  I have also been doing yoga for a few years now.

Anyhow, I would typically come home from work and do yoga, and then I would complete a guided meditation right before I went to sleep.  One evening, however, when I arrived home extremely late from work, I had this brilliant idea to listen to a guided meditation whilst doing yoga.  

Although meditating and yoga go hand-in-hand for the most part, sometimes it would become quite the task to focus on the movement and the breath and the concept that was being covered during the meditation.

The other night, as my mind was all over the place, I finally admitted to myself that what I was attempting to do was not all that enjoyable.  So I have gone back to completing my yoga routine and then meditating.  It's made all the difference in the world!!!

I couldn't help but think of the lyrics from today's song that go: "How long 'til my soul gets it right; Can any human being ever reach that kind of light..."

I'll also include another little treasure of theirs called "Closer to Fine"... Enjoy!!

Until next time...

Galileo's head was on the block

The crime was lookin' up the truth

And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode

I try to trace them to my youth

And then you had to bring up reincarnation 

Over a couple of beers the other night

And now I'm serving time for mistakes 

Made by another in another life time

How long 'til my soul gets it right 

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision

King of insight

And then I think about my fear of motion

Which I never could explain

Some other fool across the ocean years ago

Must have crashed his little airplane

How long 'til my soul gets it right 

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision

King of insight

I'm not making a joke

You know me I take everything so seriously

If we wait for the time 'til all souls get it right

Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation in my life time 

I'm still not right

I offer thanks to those before me

That's all I've got to say

'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime

Now I have to pay

But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration

To let the next life off the hook

Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life

I think I'll write a book

How long 'til my soul gets it right

Can any human being ever reach the highest light

Except for Galileo, God rest his soul

King of the night vision, king of insight

How long (until my soul gets it right)

How long (until my soul gets it right)

How long
