Found Exhortation


Today I worked efficiently, gave additional money in support of racial justice, signed comment letters and petitions, meditated, walked, shared calls to action on social media, picked beans, cherry tomatoes, and herbs in the garden, and made soba noodles in spicy peanut broth with herbs and green beans.


I found myself thinking about the blessing of being able to ask this question and have a multiple answers: what do you do when your healing place/activity is temporarily or permanently no longer healthy?
I asked this question of myself today because the poor air quality from the wildfires is not good for me, and it is not feeling good to be at the Youth Garden for the full morning. I’ve been grateful before for the panoply of practices—study, meditation (sitting and walking), breath work, asana and other movement, etc., when I have been sick or injured.
