L journal entry 7/27

I feel a little depressed today. But I also feel a certain serenity.
The object of yoga is to eliminate excitement from the system. When I
do this through yoga, I've found it to be a beautiful thing. Sometimes
I wonder if depression isn't sometimes nature's way of eliminating
excitement from the system and restoring life-giving calm. Anyway, last
night I saw a shooting star while taking a walk at night. I talked with
a girl from match.com today. Her name is Dani and she seems nice. She's
Christian and socially conservative but not too much so. I think she
might be what I need right now. She prides herself on being Italian and
says she loves to cook.
