Neighborhood Walk Before Sunday Contact Improv Jam
The air was dusty because we are in such dire need of rain, but the trees still were vibrant with color.

Signs Around Town
A yogin who is embodiment-oriented might enjoy, as part of the great dance of being, appreciating something as being enchanting.
But to let oneself be carried away enchanted or to seek enchantment heedless of the consequences seems quite the antithesis of engaging life mindful awareness.

Kali on the Outskirts of Town
She was banished to the outskirts of town by the patriarchy, but the outskirts are nicer than the center of town these days (not actually sure whether the latter is true).
She is unassuming on the surface and secretly wild, and she is completely self-sufficient.
I just reread Marilyn French’s The Woman’s Room and it has me thinking about Kali.

Breitenbush Retreat (and bringing joy back home)
I returned home last night from eight days away, five of which were truly on retreat — just meditating, bathing in hot springs, hiking, eating well, practicing yoga, and celebrating with dance and music. To see pictures, click here.The focus of the week was honoring the past and engaging in the present so as best to serve the future.
We left Breitenbush Hot Springs mid-afternoon on Thursday. Rather than take a red eye, I stayed Thursday night at an airport hotel and took an early morning flight home on Friday. I woke early Friday morning and rested in meditation to ease the shock of going from an off-the-grid community in the forest to an airport hotel. This rainbow glowed over the airport while I was waiting for the hotel shuttle to take me there for my flight.
The rainbow reminded me to carry the deep joy of the retreat home with me.
