First Frost in My Neighborhood
I wonder how many people noticed the first frost as they rushed to their post-industrialist jobs.
Lunchtime Walk
I was having an anxiety provoking type of morning. When I walked out to address one of the things that needed to be addressed, the trees reminded me to pay attention to beauty, while I was doing what needs to be done.

Gates and Gateways (and Ganesha’s Exhortation)
A gate might be an obstacle or it might be a way through or it might be that which is containing something that would otherwise be detrimental to our well-being. One of the key things that we do with the various yoga practices is explore how an apparent barrier is serving us or how a locked gate might turn our path in a more auspicious direction.
We will learn little and live less fully if we just lament the locked gate and unreasonably expect from the practices the removal of challenges or barriers. Ganesha–who is often invoked as the remover of obstacles–is less one who just opens all the gates for us than one who empowers us to discover gateways regardless of whether gates are meant to stay locked or whether they seem to block our path.

New Leaves
The fresh, lovely green of new leaves emerging is the green of the anahata chakra–the chakra of the heart, midway between that of earth and sky, where in meditation we can open to experience the intertwinedness (yes, I know that is not a “real” word) of matter and spirit.
