Thoughts on Democracy (and “Actionless Action”)
My friend Dan posted some interesting thoughts about democracy on his blog. He is writing in the context of the Unitarian Universalist community, but the thoughts are equally applicable to our lives as citizens. The thoughts on democracy also for me highlighted what is really meant in the Bhagavad Gita about “actionless action.” To embody our spiritual practice in the way we live our lives, we serve to our best ability out of love, out of delight in acting, out of a sincere joy in serving, but we do not get attached to a particular outcome.

State of the Garden (and Choosing Where to Focus Your Attention)
You wouldn’t know, from seeing Maitri enjoying the shade while the sun shines brightly on the curtain of beans and soon to come next wave of cherry tomatoes, what an extremely agitating work day I was having that started too early and was not as productive as I think would have been desirable.
Work day done, I prefer to remember the moments with Maitri and out in the garden.

“Omwashing” and “Decolonizing Yoga”
Last week I attended via Zoom a “Yoga for Palestine” workshop hosted by ABCD Yoga. I appreciated the level of scholarship and detail and getting to hear South Asian perspectives and interpretations.
I highly recommend reading Sheena Sood’s paper on “Omwashing” and checking out the offerings of ABCD Yoga.
