Peel back the layers. Endure the tears to cook it down to the sweetness.

It’s changing the shape of my face
Change is nothing to fear. We practice to become acquainted with the deeper part of us. The unchanging part.
Omnia Mutantur Nihil Interit
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
But Change Is
Everything that begins, ends. The sound of OM reminds us of this, asks us to embrace the possibility of transformation.
Here I Go Again
The breath accompanies us, gives us space within which to work, and allows us to let go of that which isn’t serving us.
Saving Grace
Grace isn’t something to hoard, it’s fuel, it’s what gives us the strength to go on when we feel spent. It is our acceptance of the gifts of the universe.

Free Yoga in the Park
I’m going to be leading the Free Yoga in the Park practice in Durham tomorrow morning.
Their website has details about location and such, though they don’t actually have me on the schedule or anything.
Anyway, come on out and have a nice free class in our beautiful end of summer weather.
This is our moment to be.
