"From silly devotions and sour faced saints, good Lord, deliver us," the mantra of Saint Teresa of Ávila.

Thank you for watching my little boy this Christmas.

Christmas carols are happening. Indian woman singing "Rudolph the red nose reindeer"

I am officially inside some wormhole parallel universe of my life. I love Rolf, Marci, and Goa.

Just ate a Kit Kat "Chunky" -- made with Peanut Butter. The Middle East is alright 😉

There is a line to get into the new "dive" themed gay bar downstairs. wtf. And I can hear them in my apartment. Ugh.

The great question: do I get my hair cut here, or wait to do it in Goa...

Went in to the new gay bar downstairs. Did a lap & walked out. No thanks.

Oh man. Friends....

I want to take Charlie & the kayak to Goa

Anyone need a place to live? http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/apa/5340604651.html

I cried.

I love you!

Seeking to be a source of inspiration frequently fosters in others aspiration. The aspirant sound is a gasp-- not rich, not full-- dying. Be yourself and let others choose.

Happiest!

Guys, I hear there's like one spot left!

6 years ago.

I apologize for my purposefully divisive comments on prayer, fundamentalism, and letter of the law religion. I recognize in them a lack of compassion.

As an individual who prays to a supreme (not Diana Ross) power, I see value in prayer. Due to the value I also see in the dissolution of labels and constructed beliefs, I let my interest in the dissonance that can bring destruction override equanimity in tone and presentation.

I cannot destroy your constructed beliefs nor force an experience of any kind-- I forgot that, as my passion got in the way.

Please understand: I am challenged in tonality by strong opinions on faiths that recommend slaughter or subjugation. Many do.

A better framing: does your faith pray to a God that would cast anyone to a hell for getting the name of God "wrong"? That would enslave a people? That kills? How does this make you feel in light of recent tragedies?

All these Christians in America acting like they don't have blood on their hands and also mocked fries a few years ago. gtfo. Native Americans say "hi!"

Fuck Your Politics.

Tickets to Goa.

In DC, barbers are required to have 1500 hours of training to receive licensing. Tuition runs 9k-15k. We need to talk about "yoga teacher trainings."

Handstands like a boss; doesn't call it yoga.

She told me to let go of my hope, and it was the hardest bit of yogic wisdom I had ever received. But the sky, it changed. Like being far from the city, I could see all the stars. No hope, no fear.

Go Bobby Go!

I didn't get in to Mysore for January, but when my teacher asks "who is your teacher" to one of those who have shared space in my Shala, I feel like I'm there, and niyamas take over. Is this "parampara"? Wow. I miss and love my teacher, but just wow. #dotherightthing

I love my Mommy. She sends me this when I am blue. xx

My big brother and beautiful niece.

Do you believe in vibrations? Does the shaking of the very electrons that make up the star stuff inside of us have frequency? Can we tune in?

How is indentured servitude an appropriate way to keep costs low? Where is the labor union? The workers rights advocates? How are "bonuses" for numbers a way to encourage practice for underserved populations? Or to encourage advancement? Where are the professional standards? Shameful.

Simply the best camera booth collection ever.

Team Fatty ftw!

Mostly I think I'm just meant to host a game show.

Life lessons from 60's game shows.

Sometimes things get stuck in my head during silent times.

If you find yourself in Goa...
