Can't even parse this

From the latest mailing from the yoga studio:

deepen into resourceOkay, the full sentence is "Both are opportunities to slow down, deepen into resource, and cultivate the resilience needed to show up in service", but - what does that mean?!? How did those words put themselves together in someone's head, and then wind up on the page ( Read more... )

That sentence makes no sense to me either....

I hope the foot feels better soon!

It's our 40th wedding anniversary this year - I feel so old! LOL!

Right?!? I keep staring at it, wondering what on Earth the writer meant to say.

Thank you - it hurts a bit less, but the colours are something else.

Awwwww, that's so wonderful! Congratulations a bit early!

That sentence if it can be called that legally makes no sense at all. Somebody was trying to be all mystical and esoteric...or something.

Your poor foot: I hope no toes are actually broken. Ice, baby, ice!

I wish Manolo would get rid of the masses of Old Computer Stuff he has accumulated. Machine no longer exist that play/use that stuff. He has a museum down there.

ETA: YIKES! We will be married 49 years this year.

They might have been going for enlightened, but it comes across as more "'ice cream headache inspired' random typing, and no one proofed it after".

So much ice, and keeping it propped up!

I share your pain - P. (obviously) jokes about it, and I respect his right to do as he likes with his stuff . . . but he wasn't wrong about the fate of most of what's in the office closet and on the bookcases. He's not using network management software from '99, what on Earth am I going to do with it? The first gen iPod Mini and the film camera that belonged to P.'s grandfather, sure; a digital camera from '94 that doesn't have a quarter of the picture quality I can get with my phone? Inna GreenDisk box!

That is not "YIKES", that is awesome!

Those words make no sense at all - do you think they might have just discovered a random word generator :)

Ouch for the toe; D-d and I were just talking, on Sunday, about the number of times she did something similar as a child or teenager, and broke a toe.

And as for all the discs... S2C did, rather grudgingly, get rid of discs for programmes he had not used for many, many, years when we moved house. And not once, in the past 4 years, has he turned out to have needed any of them.

Was someone distracted by goings-on outside a window, and their fingers took the opportunity to create word salad? It's as likely as anything else!

Today it is - more purple, but the black is gone. I shall keep ice on it.

P. said that it is easier for him to contemplate letting go of them now than it was a year ago. A lot of emotion and memory is tied up in them, and I am always striving for patience and empathy around it. My own attitude is that he and DS changed my life so profoundly that I could lose every physical object associated with them and I would still have the results of those changes . . . but that's me. He doesn't organise the inside of his head that way, and it's been 25 years of practice in respecting difference. :D
