I have had a more stressful than usual couple of weeks at the office. While I was walking into the office, I was thinking about how the more deadlines I needed to meet and the more difficult interchanges I had to bring to the most optimal resolution, the harder it was also to have energy to give to those who are in far greater need, though I seek ways to be of service.
When I saw the oversized half moon dwarfed by the cherry blossoms, it helped put things in perspective. Nothing I do immediately impacts life or death. A hard week does not mean much in my life as a whole, my tribulations are only so much play in the midst of the outrageous ground of all human being, human being is only one small part of life on this planet in this galaxy in this universe, and who knows how vast is the realm of consciousness. I smiled at the moon and the blossoms and thought of their beauty throughout the day.

Yoga is Skill in Action (R.I.P. Prince)
The texts say that yoga is skill in action. To me, this means learning how to most efficaciously engage in life as it comes, practicing and developing the technique to meet our challenges such that we can transform them into art. I was led, by the new of Prince’s death to watch some videos of his performances.
Prince’s performance at the 2007 Superbowl (which, I of course, did not see when it was first aired) I think is an exemplary demonstration “skill in action.” From my only know him through video and sound recording and some news articles over the years, think he lived what a yogi would call his dharma, he practiced steadily, and he transformed his experience of both adversity and joy in equal measure into his art. It is receiving a teaching to be able to witness such an artist.
