State of the Garden — Close Up (and Anticipation)
To deny or ignore the future is not the same as living in the present. To live perfectly in the present as a responsible and engaged part of the collective being, one must still plan for the future that will become a present. It is the perilous attachment to a particular outcome that can make bitter the present, not the engaged expectation of the future that is an inevitable part of living in the present.
As I worked in the garden this morning, I thought how much presence I find in the enjoyable anticipation of what will ripen in the future. And while anticipating cucumbers and tomatoes (and taking note of the damage caused by the birds), I set myself to enjoying fully the greens and herbs–the current abundance.
Blueberries, purple Cherokee tomato, grape tomato, echinacea, burpless cucumber, Italian eggplant, red Concord grapes, snow pea, green bean (Kentucky wonder)–June 10
“Finding the Warm Inside” — A Restorative Yoga Workshop, Feb 25th (Web Version of E-Newsletter)
Dear Friends,
It is a time for me of great emotional expansion and challenge. In such times, both more active, energizing yoga and sweetly, deeply meditative still yoga is a continuing gift to give myself and to share.
Please join me and like-minded yogis together creating a shared stillness on Saturday, February 25th for a nurturing, healing, and generally delightful afternoon of restorative yoga:

to bring to Willow Street in person. After a little gentle stretching and self-massage to bring awareness to the breath and body, we will enjoy the exquisite application of Anusara’s Universal Principles of Alignment to restful and supported restorative postures to release old patterns and invite in the new to find greater ease of body and mind. A great workshop and practice for all levels.For a treat of free yoga–do bring or send a friend, I’ll be teaching the Friday Yoga Happy Hour at Willow Street Yoga, Silver Spring, next Friday, February 17th. All levels are welcome.
I hope to see many of you. As always, feel free to email me with any questions you might have. There is always a new photo or idea on the blog. Take a look at what’s new–there’s still more to come on my trip to India as I find it relating to things going on at the moment.
Peace and light,
Elizabeth
