Day After Black Out Tuesday
Yesterday I did not post to respect the #blacklivesmatter protesters.
Today, in addition to my other regular giving, I chose to support National Bailout and Movement for Black Lives.
Before work I meditated. Throughout the day, I took short asana and exercise breaks.

A Pond in the Woods and Some Dogs (and Vimarsha)
I’ve been told that the tantric yoga masters said everything is the emanating light of consciousness with a capital “C” (prakasha) and through certain esoteric practices we can come to know ourselves as reflecting back on (vimarsha) this exquisite light. Then we can experience the sublimity of oneness.
Intentional stillness makes reflections easier to witness. And so we sit. And we can reorient our whole view of the world and recognize the emanating light reflected in the play of patterns from our individual and relational embodied dances. And sometimes a trio of dogs and a pond just make a great opportunity for a photo essay.
