Somehow, a week and a half of my Facebook posts had their privacy settings set to "only me". If I was hacked, they clearly were sending a message.
It's gonna be 90f later, but right now it's 63! Brr! (4am fun times)
"You'll never be any younger than you are right now. Might as well enjoy it."
"Traveling down their own road, watching the signs as they go. Think I'll follow my heart (it's a very good place to start). "
Under the covers at 6pm--listening to Shakira and reading think pieces. Left handed tantra sounds good at 7 weeks in. Ready for deep bass & sweat in 8 more.
Inside the banyan.
A 400 year old banyan (with a temple inside).
Had a different kinda Shankranti this year-- but still great good and still great friends. xo
Waking up at 3am for the next month and a half reminds me this is not vacation.
Put a tiger in your tank.

The mighty duck likes peanut butter cookies.
"Let your spirit soar high."
"Fly high with joy"

"the siddhis are essential to achieving samadhi, which is the true power ... to deny them [the siddhis] is to deny your ultimate freedom. You can only step beyond these powers once you've acquired them. Renouncing them beforehand, as many practitioners of yoga do, mimics yet forestalls the true liberation... In addition, renouncing the siddhis, as some yoga teachers today advocate, keeps you powerless, and perpetuates your suffering as a victim." --Yoga, Power, and Spirit: Patanjali the Shaman, Alberto Villodo, Ph.D

"Don't think. Go."
"For better or worse, the areas that Fives explore do not depend on social validation; indeed, if others agree with their ideas too readily, Fives tend to fear that their ideas might be too conventional. History is full of famous Fives who overturned accepted ways of understanding or doing things (Darwin, Einstein, Nietzshce). Many more Fives, however, have become lost in the Byzantine complexities of their own thought processes, becoming merely eccentric and socially isolated."
Here's to a little fun in 2014. Go get 'em, Tiger.
