The Underground Currents of Being
September 15, 2009
Ask Me Some time when the river is ice ask me mistakes I have made. Ask me whether what I have done is my life. Others have come in their slow way into my thought, and some have tried to help or to hurt: ask me what difference their strongest love or hate has made. I will listen to what you say. You and I can turn and look at the silent river and wait. We know the current is there, hidden; and there are comings and goings from miles away that hold the stillness exactly before us.

Yoga as a creative artistic expression of Being
September 7, 2009
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no one sees you. But sometimes I do and that sight becomes this art. –Rumi Rumi’s poem expresses the deep connection he has with the divine. He is a channel through which the formless becomes form. And the divine becomes heard, felt, and sensed through his artistic expression of poetry. We are all artists and creative beings. Yoga is a practice that reconnects us to the light... [Read more]

Campbell Quote: Rapture of Being Alive
January 22, 2009
People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.—Joseph Campbell Read More →
May you find the path
January 18, 2009
May you find the path that will lead you to the highest and truest of yourself. —Pierre Teilhard de Chardin When I took my first yoga class more than a decade ago, I was a stressed out first year school teacher in the inner city of L.A.
