Jupiter, Saturn, Prayer Flags


I’ve heard different meditation teachers speak of meditation as a process that brings familiarity—with the workings of your mind, of consciousness, of your relationship to self and other. I would add, from my personal experience, that applies to asana practice and body consciousness, too.

This morning before work, I joined a group of people at the International Trade Center who were speaking out against separating immigrant families at the border. It was already 80F when I left the house at 7:30. It added two miles to my morning walk to join in. I thought about how far these families have walked in desperate hope only to meet such cruelty. What was a little discomfort and arriving at the office a bit red in the face and damp?
