@ewarren
Donald Trump is calling for violence against Black
Americans. His advocacy of illegal, state-sponsored
killing is horrific. Politicians who refuse to condemn it
share responsibility for the consequences.
Trump threatens American lives and American
democracy. We need to vote him and his enablers out-
but we must also commit ourselves to the work of
dismantling structural racism and white supremacy in our
country.
We have to make real change in our country and
fundamentally reform how the law is enforced in America.
We need accountability for law enforcement and
accountability at every stage of our criminal justice
system.
The idea that communities of color alone are responsible
for fighting racism is misguided and can have dangerous
consequences. It's not enough to stand as an ally. We
must be anti-racist. White Americans must ask ourselves
what we are doing every day to dismantle systemic
racism.
This tragedy tears us apart. My prayer is that this atrocity
can lead to greater understanding and ultimately the
grace we all need to ensure justice for all.

The beauty of anti-racism is that you
don't have to pretend to be free of
racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-
racism is the commitment to fight
racism wherever you find it, including
in yourself. And it's the only way
forward

I drew a line in the sand a few years ago to no longer hold close to my heart those who could not hold my community in their own. What community?

"Other." The marginalized. My community lives in a second America.

If you want to make America great, it means dismantling systems of oppression. That starts at home, with you.

Dear White folks, Straight folk,Christians.

Give this a read, tell me what you think.

What does it mean to go to a place like Ecuador in order to create and participate in economy? And how does one do that in a respectable, regenerative, respectful way?

Ask Kristen.

She and her partner Juan are growing cacao and heirloom cacao in a regenerative food forest with zero waste.

The optics in this post hit close to home.

I try not to dress up in a costume for the purposes of selling you the product of yoga. I can’t actually sell yoga yoga— and sell you my time.

My time as a practitioner, a seeker, a student, and a finder. And as a yoga facilitator/teacher/guide, it’s why you don’t see me in my dhoti very often... And why i tend to only wear my mala when I meditate.

There are so many ways to signal your desire to be seen as aspirational— biceps and bindis and baba harem pants. Andean throws. The thing is, when you have something valuable to share, you want to share it.

When you have devoted your life to something, you hope that you can make enough money to keep devoting your life to it. And, you might even try to sell the image of the thing using appropriators prints.

It’s a tricky thing... this authenticity piece. I love that Kristen and Juan encourages folks to make of all of it what you will.

In the mean time... should I teach you to handstand, shirtless?

A no-nonsense way of going about finding peace:

First things first: have faith (shraddah) that peace is attainable for you.
Cultivate vitality (virya) — it’s hard to feel good when you feel like shit! Do the things that nourish your ability to be present in the moment.
This means some responsibility is in order: You have to wake up to noticing yourself feeling good— which also means waking up to when you feel bad so that you can note the difference. Then, when you notice yourself feeling good and maybe a bit happier or peaceful, your mission is to remember (smriti) it! It can help you have
faith that those vibes are legit.
Once you get good at noticing yourself vibing right, try to stay with it for longer periods of time— it’s totally possible. It’ll grow! You gotta try and stay present!
Lastly— once we’re able to be present for longer periods of time, things have a way of sorting themselves out. We suffer less, seemingly paradoxically by just being awake to all of our feelings as they come in. Somewhere inside the good and the bad is the truth— and it doesn’t done from rejecting any of it. And the truth brings wisdom... and the wisdom is how we can stop this process of self delusion and hurt making.
So there you have it: holding space inside of yourself for a personal experience of wisdom truth revelation means not rejecting, but experiencing. Not controlling, but observing.
We can wake up to love. We can wake up to now. We can wake up to wisdom (prajna). When these truths start showing themselves, you don’t wanna miss ‘em. It’s on the back of these truths that we can ride into a lasting peace. (Yoga sutras 1.20)

in imageFear
Khalil Gibran
It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that's where the river will know
it's not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.

"quarantine" In the worst hour of the worst season of the worst year of a whole people
a man set out from the workhouse with his wife.
He was walking—they were both walking—north.

She was sick with famine fever and could not keep up. He lifted her and put her on his back.
He walked like that west and west and north.
Until at nightfall under freezing stars they arrived.

In the morning they were both found dead. Of cold. Of hunger. Of the toxins of a whole history.
But her feet were held against his breastbone.
The last heat of his flesh was his last gift to her.

Let no love poem ever come to this threshold. There is no place here for the inexact
praise of the easy graces and sensuality of the body.
There is only time for this merciless inventory:

Their death together in the winter of 1847. Also what they suffered. How they lived.
And what there is between a man and woman.
And in which darkness it can best be proved.

From New Collected Poems by Eavan Boland

Are you feeling stressed? Hungry for no reason? Irritable?

How about overly sleepy? Lethargic? A feeling of general malaise?

You might need to relax your system-- and I'm not talking in a shmaltzy bubble-bath-y way (please note: I love a bubble bath).

If you're nervous system is all high-strung right now, it might be so high that you can't even tell except for some of the above... you're just kind of in a bad mood. Sound familiar?

If you've had trouble getting back to a feeling of being centered, I recommend putting a tool in your toolkit that ca help.

Here's a strong technique that works.

Stop rolling around on lacrosse balls
and PVC pipes and start strength
training your joints.
Give your body strength and control in
the ranges of motion you need and you
won't have to use your warm ups trying
to trick your nervous system into giving
you more range of motion.

The promise of yoga is power. ⁣

The kind of power that frees you from the suffering that comes with the drama of the routine rise and fall... and the unexpected. ⁣

Speaking of all things unexpected, the deepest potency of practice only reveals itself when the deep moments of desperation knock on the doors of our routine realities. ⁣

These times of fraught and worry and sorrow— they come uninvited, though they should never be unexpected. ⁣

And, in these moments, when all manner of hell and high water come a-knockin’, only then are we given the chance to open the door— and, such as it is when it comes to self discovery, we discover that no matter what door we open, it’s just us on the other side. ⁣

Every door, every time. ⁣

And through yoga, we learn to stay lifted. To let that door open and close. To not fear the knocking. ⁣

And we learn how to help others stay lifted, too. ⁣
