Looking Back...

Saw a guy named Peter at Mother's today, from the days I taught at the Hot Yoga Studio
He was around when i started teaching yoga and during the 2 year run we had at that place.
He came over to tell me how grateful he was for the community I helped create,
Appreciative of the time we all shared back then.

It felt good to remember those times, me the rookie... somehow helping get first-timers hooked on asana practice.
It was an amazing time as I learned to allow the Truth to flow through me those days, haha
I told Peter that I too was thankful and expressing those emotions would help us all have more of it in our lives.
We are so magnetic for that which we express appreciation towards, need to move past that which doesn't serve us.

So my produce shopping seemed a little more joyful after that and the my moments forward a little brighter.
Even later when i noticed another person who had been a student in many classes with me,
went about her shopping & acted like she had never seen me before? haha
Life is funny that way :-)

I sometimes feel like a unique primate sitting on my beach watching the World

Crib Hangover

Every year,
I come Home... when I participate with my brothers and sisters at the Crib
I think it might be like what Heaven will be when I eventually cross over and drop this suit of skin
Souls re-linking and embracing the Truth... we are all One
Like these last few days have shown... in makes my Heart sing :-)

I know I say it every year... this was the Best one so far
Can there be a higher peak or a loftier level of Bliss?
I am willing to seek it out and manifest it

I am thankful to Kira and feel fortunate to have been able to look her in the eyes and express it...
I share with you this last song I played to with Erich today on Med Mount.
May we ALL Breathe, and let the Heart hear

Hello... It's ME!

Been thinking about you for a long... long time
i KNOW the turn to reply was mine...
Spending my days in the sunshine,
But want to let you see that I am fine :-)

The Yoga of Cooking

I've been hooked on watching the Food Network... for quite a while now
It's like watching artist create their master pieces... things that you can imagine creating or enjoying with your teeth :-)
There is even a guy named Alton who breaks down cooking into the science of combining molecules..,
My latest favorite show is Chopped!

It is a clever spin off of Iron Chef I guess,
Pitting several chefs with crazy combinations of ingredients...
Competition and the time factor make it a fun watch.

Flexibility and cleverness with bringing together elements that might not seem to go together...
Like a class full of Ninja-Ashtanga yoginis and Stiff White guys!
Finding a way to feel good about what you present and having your "audience" feel satisfied :-)
(please refrain from betting on who wins)

Reflections...

I had to work a GradFest last night...
Bunch of High School Seniors just released from @12 years of lessons from our "Church of Reason"
I can remember mine... not having a clue what was next though I had gotten a good job months before.
Though its been some years, I still don't let age (trips around the Sun) cloud the bigger picture.
It was fun to talk with them as they tried out climbing...
Made me think of how nieve I must have looked, but also maybe how mature I was for that time...

It was kind of a surreal day since I had to be prepared to work till 5am
Was surprised to see almost all 300 climb our rockwall!
Which helped to keep us busy and less tired :-)
But it is crazy working "the graveyard shift"...
Driving home at 5:30am looked just like the freeway at 8:30pm!
Would have been cooler to be riding through a sleepy hollow...

Got home in time for a pre-dawn surf... but not enough swell :-(

Summertime Shift (somehow)

Haven't posted lately, though have had things to say... or type :-)
Part of what i like about my lifestyle lately is that there are "seasons"...
Not so much to do with weather,
but phases of responsibilities as I assist others in their pursuits of education somehow.

Like i spoke of in an earlier post, The Sower...
i imagine that i am like Johnny Appleseed,
Planting seeds of Truths and personal revelations so maybe IT will grow and assist someone else later.
As others have done for me...
Paying IT forward somehow.

So during summertime, I only have to focus on yoga once a week and kids learning to climb...
Never would have guessed to BE here, but that is Life,
"Mysteriously" providing what makes us Happy somehow.

This month has been about creating a summer break "bucket list"
ThingS I would like to DO in my free time...
SO many ideas, places, people and adventures.
Putting them out there so they can manifest SOMEHOW :-)

hey maaaannn..

It's starting to get HOT!
So... here's something cool...
(don't inhale any second-hand smoke)
