There is also another one on the south side of the footbridge to Heritage Island, as I have noticed before. Do they ever switch locations?
I am curious about the concept of guru, and as usual, when I am curious about something some large part of my exploration is through books. As my latest entry in books about gurus, I’ve just finished reading Rachel Manija Brown’s “All the Fishes Come Home to Roost,” memoir about her years as an American child in an Indian ashram.
The tale a wonderful example of how humor and curiosity can help us survive human challenges and discomfort and how story telling itself can be an act of healing. Finishing the book at the start of guru purnima reminds me of how many of my teachers have been books.

Dear Friends,
I hope you are having a rich and full summer.
To celebrate the yoga with John Friend, the delightfulness of the Pacific Northwest, and to get a break from routine — in a word to take a vacation — I will be out of town next week.
While I am on break (September 1st and 2nd), no Wm Penn or house classes. They resume as usual on Tuesday, September 8th.
There are wonderful subs for Willow Street classes this Saturday, August 29th, but there are no classes at Takoma Park, Willow Street, Labor Day weekend (Saturday, September 5th).
Upcoming: Free class week at Willow Street on September 12th. Start of the new session September 19th.
Serenity Saturday, September 19th.
See you soon.
Peace and light,
Elizabeth
And everything else, too.
