    I came across this article from Angela Wilson at Kripalu on the latest research into how yoga affects our brain and mental health. “With the steady rise in the number of people practicing yoga in the USA —from 13 million in 2007 to more than 20 million today —researchers have begun to focus their attention…

  • T.G.I.F.: Let’s be – that kind of clear.

    Perfect for today! Thank you David Kanigan. Live & Learn Let’s walk around outside and forget it is raining. Let’s get soaked in all that noise.

    It takes courage to admit that we are struggling and to ask for help. We often think that admitting struggle is a sign of weakness, yet it happens to all of us.  We all get overwhelmed sometimes.

  • * Inspiration – the time is ripe

    The time is ripe. Before the pause of winter notice the shifting winds, perspectives and possibilities.  Flowers bloom on lengthy stems reaching for the light.

    The elderly Scottish Laird lay near death and called his faithful manservant to his bedside to hear his final request. “Hamish,” he said, “When I’m gone I want you to take that bottle of single malt Scottish whisky that’s been in the family for thirty years and pour it over my grave.” “Certainly Sir,” replied…

  • * Overseers of comings and goings

    Overseers of comings and goings, people gatherings, dogs doing their business. There’s nothing behind the alert blankness Yet their presence is here A part of the landscape. Contributors to play and lightness. They move at night you know! I love my sheep.

  • The Duty of Kindness to Strangers

    Originally posted on A Leaf in Springtime: One quiet summer afternoon, several years ago, when my son was three years old, we went to the local neighbourhood library. There he played happily with a huge pirate ship set out on a low table filled with colourful blocks and wooden puzzles at the children’s section. Soon…
