Teaching again

Taught my first yoga class in 7 months last night!

It felt so good.

I found a donation based studio here in Lansing that has an awesome following.

I taught the free class. There were about 30 peeps in a teeny tiny room. Oh so cozy and warm. Many bouts of laughter were found as neighbors nosed and nudged one another.

Read Mary Oliver "Spring"

Violets have many leaves, each one so earnestly

heart-shaped that you could not imagine the plant have

thoughts of anything else to do. But they have: they make

blossoms, which rise yellow or violet, in multitudes, the

violet ones with violet-colored spurs. They like

dampness, they like hillsides ans are comfortable

in the shady woods. to be alone, or congregated

together in the grass, looking up as you pass by, saying

Hello, Hello. And what else do you imagine

they might do? Sing? I don't think so,I suspect

they know when any further ambition would be

unseemly. So all their time is used up in happiness--

in becoming the best they can be for the greater glory of___.

In fact, they know it's okay to rest for the rest of

their lives just saying thank you. Oh cast of thousands,

as are the stars in heaven, thank you.
