This morning at the United States Supreme Court in support of the nomination of Judge Katanji Brown Jackson.
Please let your elected officials know your support. The naysayers were out with those showing support.
Let us raise our voices in support and have our cheers silence those that would drive us further towards heedlessness and cruelty.
Day 1 of confirmation hearing for Judge Katanji Brown Jackson to serve as the first Black woman to the United States Supreme Court, text SCOTUS to 25463 #ConfirmJackson A Yoga Mat of Her Own
A mat is, of course, completely unnecessary, though I like to use them. Maitri kept joining me on my mat. Now that no people can come over to practice, I decided Maitri could have her own mat.

Found Exhortation (and “Opening to Grace”)
I was contemplating today the Anusara yoga principle of “opening to grace,” one aspect of which I always understood to be seeking to pause and listen in and from a place of luminous spaciousness before acting or responding to what one does or encounters. Ideally, the intentional practice of yoga opens the possibility of doing all this simultaneously and immediately, but most of us need to reduce the speed at which we approach or take in things if we are to experience and engage the fullest and most nuanced relationship with the wild extraordinariness of what is in and around us.
If we move too quickly or push effortfully or immoderately past our limitations, we are at risk, as I have recently reminded myself in a rather clumsy way. When through our own actions or happenstance we are pushed past our healthy capacity, it is time to slow down, to pause, to reflect, to reinvite and reexplore the basics and seek a deeper level of understanding and capability if we are to expand our capacity to live with grace.
