Sticking Points
When I started my computer this morning it was stuck on yesterday. 12/5, 10:36 PM the time and date read. Never mind, that it is currently 12/6, 4:42 AM. My computer is very old and quirky at this point in its life. It asks me to enter complicated codes so that it can start, it…

Isvara Pranidhana
I have to talk to my yoga teacher training class about what this means to me. So I thought I’d post my notes for all of you (all three :-)). Here we go. Isvara Pranidhana comes from a climate about as different from Wisconsin as you can get. But the theme of surrender applies universally.…

Holding On
Last weekend, we had a break from yoga school. It was Thanksgiving weekend, or, as I call it – Gratitude Day. Thanksgiving is so historically problematic and being from a sort of imploded and disconnected family, the traditions haven’t felt meaningful to me in a long time, if they ever did.

I should write my last catchup post before the weekend comes. The week was a tough one. I was tired, that kind of tired where even washing your face…

Inner Change (The Story So Far, Part 1)
I completed the first four day immersion in our yoga teacher training program. I’d intended about three posts to this point, but I’m clearly wordpress challenged and couldn’t figure out how to make the technology work. This morning, I thought I might toss this old laptop across the room. So, clearly I have a long…

A Seeker
Halloween was on a Sunday this year, 2022. Sunday is the traditional day of worship in the Christian tradition, anyhow. A lot of people are afraid of Christians. And why wouldn’t they be? Many of them are pretty scary people, what with the rules and the angry god and the exclusion and the hell and…
