Living in the Moment and Planning Ahead Are Not Mutually Exclusive
Before a day devoted first to fall cleaning and then a walk out in the neighborhood to get a massage, I set up for an evening restorative practice. Looks inviting doesn’t it?

Reminders Around Town
I walk past the Japanese American World War II Memorial on my way to work. This means I mostly walk past without thinking about why it is there. This morning I was moved to reread and remember and ask myself what am I doing about it?

Hot Day (and aligning with it instead if fighting it)
It astonishes me how much time is spent complaining that it is hot. It is July, and I live south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Much of what gives rise to the complaints has to do with trying to dress in accordance with traditional office dress, being active according to some preconceived exercise routine, and wanting to eat heavy food from a diet based on habit rather than season.
Yes. It is hot, and being hot can be uncomfortable, especially if we try to fight it.
If we wear loose, light clothing, exercise less vigorously and only in the morning or after the heat of the day has waned, and eat lightly of the fruits of the season, then we can experience less discomfort. We also then can better open to the delights of the heat–stretchier muscles, a call to stillness, and chilled watermelon are a few things that make summer a joy for me.

On the Way to Willow Street Yoga for a Workshop With Moses Brown
Yes. That would be blooming wisteria. In December.
It was good to practice with old friends and acquaintances. Moses, suggested, towards the end of the practice, that the best way to become skilled yourself, is to practice regularly with those who are themselves skilled.
Using Props
One important use of props or supports (including the wall), is to be able to experience or stay in positions that would otherwise not be possible.
