You are a ghost driving a meat covered skeleton made from stardust riding a rock flying through space. What do you have to be scared of?

Kindness to a stranger has a longer half life than violence to an enemy.

Pick yourself up and pull yourself together.
The kinda day that leaves you inspires you to stand tall and meet the world with strength and a smile that says "I've got a lifetime."

The cosmic bonfire started in June 2012 and is reaching its final great crecendo, burning through outdated paradigms and beliefs. Kali is here to cut the anchor and let open the sails

Ceiling. Contemplate the infinite.
When the mind gets to churning about what we look like, seeing the body shapes of the worlds best athletes is placid making.

this feels true
I've spent time this month with @[689010579:2048:Emma O'Neill], who helped sharpen my teeth in Mysore on my first trip. A major teacher for her, like Christine Hoar here, is Nancy Gilgoff.
The first 20 is essential for woman and men who associate with them. The 35 minute mark on sums up my occasional radio silence. The last 8 is for everyone.
"We are meant to be joyful beings. "
So, listen to get perspective on me or listen to get perspective on you.
Big love to @[1076864780:2048:Jen René] and Peg Mulqueen for their efforts here, and to Christine for her candor.

Where do you draw your line?
Ashtanga yoga is a really, really simple technique for cultivating insight. If you'd like to know more about bringing deep peace, attention, and insight into your own life, please reach out. (**especially if you're interested and you've heard that it has anything to do with strange bendy shapes and think it may not be for you. I assure you, the practice is for absolutely anyone)
Words are useless; especially sentences.
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?
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
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.
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?

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.
