RIP Lawrence Ferlinghetti

We will all need as much compassion as possible–for others and ourselves–for the great amount of work ahead of there is to be any meaningful healing and sustainability.

I love having things around the house that I have brought home from my travels. They help me imagine other times and places.
The crystal conch shell I brought home from India. The turtle with its fire opal I brought home from Mexico.

Me and Maitri demonstrating savasana variations; pink, cashmere pajamas from the thrift shop more than a decade ago.

Today I have some hope. I keep on, though, regardless of hope. That is the practice.

This was the kind of imagery lying around the rooms of the cool older kids when I was starting to form my cultural consciousness.
