Random Abstract
I took this photo earlier in the evening before failed attempts simultaneously to photograph the cat on my lap and the impeachment proceedings on streaming video. I think of all those working so hard and so bravely. For some time, I sat paying attention and also meditating–my personal variation on a Quaker practice of having someone present sit and hold all in the light while the business of the meeting is being conducted.
And I also made an extra donation.

Reminder (blog copy of newsletter)
Dear Friends,
I hope you are having a rich and full summer.
To celebrate the yoga with John Friend, the delightfulness of the Pacific Northwest, and to get a break from routine — in a word to take a vacation — I will be out of town next week.
While I am on break (September 1st and 2nd), no Wm Penn or house classes. They resume as usual on Tuesday, September 8th.
There are wonderful subs for Willow Street classes this Saturday, August 29th, but there are no classes at Takoma Park, Willow Street, Labor Day weekend (Saturday, September 5th).
Upcoming: Free class week at Willow Street on September 12th. Start of the new session September 19th.
Serenity Saturday, September 19th.
See you soon.
Peace and light,
Elizabeth
Mysterious Workings of Kali (Goddess of Sequencing)
The other morning, in the middle of meditation, the thought arose of how different my life would have been if my older sister and my birth orders (keeping our congenital make up the same) had been reversed.
Imagine, too, if it had not been for the Russian Revolution, we might not have all grown up having read Nabokov’s Lolita.
Small Acts
Sometimes it is hard to tell whether our actions are making a difference. Yoga would have us do it for the sake of the action, not the result.
Today I ordered my first batch of postcards to reach out to voters in swing states: https://www.turnoutpac.org/postcards-faq/ in addition to giving additional contributions to my regular monthly support.
May what we do bring more happiness, safety, and health for all.
