Maybe the idea of the world as flat isn't a tribal memory or an archetypal memory, but something far older -- a fox memory, a worm memory, a moss memory.

Memory of leaping or crawling or shrugging rootlet by rootlet forward, across the flatness of everything.

To perceive of the earth as round needed something else -- standing up! -- that hadn't yet happened.

What a wild family! Fox and giraffe and wart hog, of course. But these also: bodies like tiny strings, bodies like blades and blossoms! Cord grass, Christmas fern, soldier moss! And here comes grasshopper, all toes and knees and eyes, over the little mountains of the dust.

When I see the black cricket in the woodpile, in autumn, I don't frighten her. And when I see the moss grazing upon the rock, I touch her tenderly,

sweet cousin.

Last night, an owl
in the blue dark
tossed an indeterminate number
of carefully shaped sounds into
the world, in which,
a quarter of a mile away, I happened
to be standing.
I couldn’t tell
which one it was –
the barred or the great-horned
ship of the air –
it was that distant. But, anyway,
aren’t there moments
that are better than knowing something,
and sweeter? Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness. I suppose
if this were someone else’s story
they would have insisted on knowing
whatever is knowable – would have hurried
over the fields
to name it – the owl, I mean.
But it’s mine, this poem of the night,
and I just stood there, listening and holding out
my hands to the soft glitter
falling through the air. I love this world,
but not for its answers.
And I wish good luck to the owl,
whatever its name –
and I wish great welcome to the snow,
whatever its severe and comfortless
and beautiful meaning

Studies on happiness have shown that it is not determined by material wealth and comfort.
In fact, the more dependent we become on externals for our happiness, the less we actually experience satisfaction from them.
The need to fill up from the outside rather than know from the inside that
we are and that we have enough.

The consciousness of appreciation ( Aparigraha ) magnifies our happiness.
Regardless of material possessions or success, we cultivate this state of mind by acknowledging the blessings all around us and recognizing opportunities for growth through every circumstance.
In this way we eliminate greed and covetousness and move closer to the Source of true fulfillment.
We recognize Spirit as our constant storehouse of supply.

Moving your body outside,
Even for a short time
WILL make your mind feel better.
If you can’t get out, open the window and move the body inside.
Dance, breathe, do asana,
Keep doing it.

Dear Yogis
In order to be a good steward of my energies, I have decided to step back from teaching Wednesday morning class at .
Life is busy and I don’t want to offer you less than my best at all times, so I came to this conclusion and am glad that .erickson is understanding! I’m sorry to bow out of my class so soon, but class will continue at 8:15 lead by .
I’m grateful to have shared practice and smiles with all of your lovely souls.
Thanks and see you on the trails 🙏 namaste

Instead of defining our practices (bodies, jobs, relationships, lives) by what they look like on the outside, let us instead seek how we want to feel on the inside. Safe. Loved. And ever-evolving.

Great article about being careful and safe in your practice!

There are a lot of new poses out there on Instagram, like this pose, which some call "Pistol Squat Compass Pose," or "Eka Pada Parvritta Utkatasana Surya Yantrasana." Many yogis used to put these shocking shapes as
