Never underestimate the power of love. Gandhi called this deep care for others “the greatest and most activist force in the world. A force more positive than electricity, more powerful than ether.”

It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

USC Mindfulness & Yoga. Day 1. Forget About Enlig

USC Mindfulness & Yoga. Day 1.
Forget About Enlightenment

Sit down wherever you are
And listen to the wind singing in your veins.
Feel the love, the longing, the fear in your bones.
Open your heart to who you are, right now,
Not who you would like to be,
Not the saint you are striving to become,
But the being right here before you, inside you, around you.
All of you is holy.
You are already more and less
Than whatever you can know.
Breathe out,
Touch in,
Let go.

✨

I landed there when I first moved to LA in 1999. Like a grand temple, you could feel the thousands of people, practices, and prayers laid bare on its floors. It was a sacred, magical, space, soaked in lineage and love. When it’s doors closed “permanently” in the pandemic— @centerforyogala the oldest studio in LA, an epi-center of soul and sweat in the city —a piece of my heart shattered.

Then just as magically, like we learn in this tradition, between the gapping cracks, was the exact place where shimmers of light shine through. Gratefully. So it is.

Brought back to life by connected community/sangha, and helmed my the most brilliant, beautiful, and kindest teacher I have ever known, @lisa.walford it is my huge and genuine honor to join the circle of esteemed and magnificent faculty and dear friends @joekarayoga @andreamarcum @dervkellyla @carolinagoldbergyoga @ashleyrideaux @yogigracie @becks_yoga_x @jeanneheilemanyoga @daniibarrayoga @cosmicvitch

As the curtains part and we start to step out onto open stage of a new world, still a little broken but beaming with hope, we’ll begin to co-create a new center of inspiration for who and what we can all be now.

I hope you’ll join me on OpeningDay, Tuesday 8/24 for a complete come together with classes and celebrations.

Have confidence in your intuitive intelligence, faith that your cellular memory knows the way, and let the deep water currents carry you home. #BeginAgain

My work is loving the world.

Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still half-perfect?

Let me keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,

which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished.

Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here,

which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart
and these body-clothes,
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy

telling them all, over and over, how it is
that we live forever.

Tomorrow let’s release the cocoon and return to the community. My first public class in 19 months. Masks on, mental noise off. #SoulSessions #ComposeYourself #ComeTogether

Drop into the body and join us

I know you never intended to be in this world
But you’re in it all the same.

so why not get started immediately.

I mean, belonging to it.

There is so much to admire, and to weep over.

And to write music or poems about.

Bless the feet that take you to and fro.
Bless the eyes and the listening ears.
Bless the tongue, and the marvel of taste.
Bless touching.

Y’all… I love fireworks and summertime, and so

Y’all… I love fireworks and summertime, and sometimes even the warm crackling space, in between the big booms, the wide open of the unknown. That’s where I’ll be next few weeks.

Tomorrow, Sunday July 4, is the last SoulSesion class before I kick off into summer vacation.

This is your invitation to Come Feel the Love at 10 AM in the #zoomroom www.ClioYoga.com of my #urbanashram in the #midcity #yogagarage.

This is also a reminder: that life is precious and short. We can’t hear this enough. Alleviate your self, and this world, of any suffering, even in the smallest ways. There is love and laughter, color, connection, meaning and inexplicable wonder. Every. Day.

All we really have is now. And love.

Stay healthy friends. Keep practicing. All is coming. #happysummer ✨🧡✨

Because no one could ever praise me enough, becaus

Because no one could ever praise me enough,
because I don’t mean these poems only
but the unseen
unbelievable effort it takes to live
the life that goes on between them,
I think all the time about invisible work.
About the young mother on Welfare
I interviewed years ago,
who said, “It’s hard.
You bring him to the park,
run rings around yourself keeping him safe,
cut hot dogs into bite-sized pieces for dinner,
and there’s no one
to say what a good job you’re doing,
how you were patient and loving
for the thousandth time even though you had a headache.”
And I, who am used to feeling sorry for myself
because I am lonely,
when all the while,
as the Chippewa poem says, I am being carried
by great winds across the sky,
thought of the invisible work that stitches up the world day and night,
the slow, unglamorous work of healing,
the way worms in the garden
tunnel ceaselessly so the earth can breathe
and bees ransack this world into being,
while owls and poets stalk shadows,
our loneliest labors under the moon.
There are mothers
for everything, and the sea
is a mother too,
whispering and whispering to us
long after we have stopped listening.
I stopped and let myself lean
a moment, against the blue
shoulder of the air. The work
of my heart
is the work of the world’s heart.
There is no other art.
