Found Exhortation

This morning at the Supreme Court of the United States. I have been getting better about engaging in difficult conversations. This is a straightforward point to make: “relief first.”

Part of the reason “around town” is within several blocks of my house since the pandemic began is the limits on being able to find a safe bathroom. I prefer that to dehydrating prior to going out. I’m lucky to have the choice.

One sign reads: “Our lives begin to end the day we are silent about the things that matter.” The other sign reads: “Biden/ Harris/ text “UNITED to 30330”
As if–like chanting–you are saying the names of the divine. For if there is anything such as divinity, it is the spark in each and every one.

Now is not the time for avoidance or passivity. What can you do or do more? Who are you going to support? These are the questions for an engaged yogi. Meditation, asana, and pranayama are life balance and support not ends in themselves for a householder yogi.

There are some really beautiful ones. Have you supported the USPS in recent weeks? In addition to making clear to your elected representatives how important it is?

It’s sweet to give and receive feedback. This week I’m focused on asking people to buy stamps (please do all of you who live in the United States). I commented on a number of posts about the threat to the postal service, suggesting people buy stamps, including a post by John Pavlovitz. Seeing this story helped buoy my resolve to keep speaking out. BTW, there are some very cool stamps available.
