And the day came

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
May you find the path
January 18, 2009
May you find the path that will lead youto 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. I came to yoga to calm my mind. Over the years, my mind has become more calm and peaceful. I also gained a stronger, more flexible body, a clearer, more focused mind, and a connection to a deeper part of myself — the very heart of my being.
Yoga has helped me to open the closed parts of myself both on a physical and emotional level. I am much more able to be more authentically myself now — more vulnerable on an outer level because I feel a deep connection on the inside to place of abiding strength within. Life has become more of a courageous adventure — one that continues to lead me to the “highest and truest” of myself.
