This is my teachers' teacher, Pattabhi Jois.

This week marks the seventh year of his passing. He died before I began learning his method.

I wasn't sure what to say to honor him, as he touched so many people directly, and yet for me, indirectly.

I didn't want to appropriate, and yet I am so inspired by his work.

When I saw this image, I knew what it was I wanted to say.

When I die, I hope it is my good humor that is remembered-- just like yours. Thanks, KPJ. I owe you one.
