We must be the change we wish to see in the world.

~Gandhi

Without love, without humor, yoga is just a lot of hard work.

Change...

Finding Joy in Release

"Learn to let go. 
That is the key to happiness." 
~the Buddha

Haha, much easier said than done eh?  But really when you think about it, 
letting go is really the only choice you have to make.  Just wish it wasn't so hard to do.

Monday Mantra... RE- Lease.

What is soft is strong...


"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding.  But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.  What is soft is strong." 
~Lao Tzu

Sound of Silence...

"Remember always - not with my speech, not with my eyes, not even with my mind will that Self be reached. It will declare itself to me only in my stillness." ~KATHA UPANISHAD (800-400BCE), INDIA

 A friend & I have been conversing today about 'Silence'.   This topic surprised me so much, in our own silence today the both of us were thinking of the same thing!  When the word 'silence' is spoken I cannot help but start to hum the tune "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel in my mind.  

For some reason silence scares me, it always has, and I'm afraid that I have lived in fear for a long time.  Much longer than I have ever realized.  A question has been lingering, one I haven't been able to answer because I have not even known what the question is, but now I get it.  LOVE or FEAR? Do we choose LOVE or do we choose FEAR?  Easier said than done eh.

ACCEPTANCE

 
 
 
A friend asked me the other day "What does HAPPINESS mean to you?"
So, when I witnessed my dog and cat asleep on the kitchen floor, 
I couldn't help but think that is a great example of picture perfect happiness. 
 
[(UNDERSTANDING+ACCPTANCE) * TOLERANCE]= UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,
my formula for HAPPINESS.
 
What does HAPPINESS mean to you?"
