Tom and I just agreed to meditate together every morning at 7:15am — w00t! This is great not only for the meditation itself, but also toward getting enough sleep I know that if I get up the same time every day that will establish a rhythm, and create a natural pressure to get to sleep early enough to get a full night's sleep.

This was while we were walking together to a new farmer's market near our co-op, where a friend (the one working on women's empowerment I wrote about earlier) and her marimba band were playing fantastic Zimbabwean music. I loved dancing even though I was almost the only one doing so, and was reminded that's another great bodily thing I can do more often.
