It's okay to not be okay

Another morning of too early waking                     body tossing and turning                                    mi nd tunneling back and forth through question-and-answer attempts... mothering      midlife           mediocrity                misunderstanding                     missed opportunity                           misogyny and more more more What's individual?

Naming and Feeling and LIVING

This morning I feel grateful. Grateful for the arts organization staffer who took time to be ever so thoughtful in her response to my email inquiry. Grateful for friends who are vulnerable with me and allow me to be the same. Grateful for lawmakers who truly care about people and our earth.

He's been practicing and teaching yoga for 30 years from a wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down since an accident at the age of 13. He said many brilliant things that I tried to capture. One that stuck with me is t his: "Principles of yoga don't discriminate. Yoga poses do." He went on to explain that everyone has a different outer body, but the inner, subtle body, where you feel yoga, where you experience being alive, does not discriminate. Thus, my job as a teacher is to guide people to experience the subtle body, not just do poses. It's what I hope I've been accomplishing these past 15 years. My trainer, Esther Myers (d. 2004), conveyed this same, powerful concept through three principals of finding the ground, feeling the breath, ...
