Visiting Friends at the Freer and the Sackler Before They Close for Renovation
On the first day of my staycation, I slept late, joined a good friend for a big bowl of spicy noodle soup for lunch, went to the Freer and the Sackler, and then to see the Star Wars movie. I did read a work email or two. Now some restorative asana practice before bed. I will miss these murtis when the galleries are closed for renovations.
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.

Thoughts on Democracy (and “Actionless Action”)
My friend Dan posted some interesting thoughts about democracy on his blog. He is writing in the context of the Unitarian Universalist community, but the thoughts are equally applicable to our lives as citizens. The thoughts on democracy also for me highlighted what is really meant in the Bhagavad Gita about “actionless action.” To embody our spiritual practice in the way we live our lives, we serve to our best ability out of love, out of delight in acting, out of a sincere joy in serving, but we do not get attached to a particular outcome.
