In the plant world, we recognize that some plants get along more beneficially than others and some are better kept apart. Hmmm.
Here is some good information that I just saw on one of the list serves I read on “companion planting.” I have been strategically planting marigolds, onions, and garlic for decades as natural pest control, but I hadn’t known that planting basil and tomatoes together improves flavor.
Found yesterday. Today, I managed to stay inside working.
Walking home after another 11-hour work day.
It appears from my long silence here (but not on other social media, where I am regularly posting photos), whatever I might have to say about yoga has been eclipsed by the fact that when I think to write about anything else, I think about calls for peace and justice and, and, and…
I say this then to those, like me, who are not struggling to have enough food and a safe place to sleep and have either never known or long forgotten what that is like, I use what I have learned from my practice of asana to keep my bones and muscles in alignment and I meditate to keep perspective. I make sure to be contributing in someway to share the safety and abundance I am privileged to enjoy, and I question myself regularly about whether I have the capability and capacity to do more.
And —a key teaching of yoga from my perspective— I let myself have hits of joy from encounters with beauty. Every day.
How are you holding up?
