QotD: What We Seek
People say
that what we’re all seeking
is a meaning
for life.
I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking.
I think that what we’re seeking
is an experience
of being
alive.
– Joseph Campbell

QotD: What the World Needs
Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive
and then go do that.
Because what the world needs
is people who have come alive.
--Howard Thurman, civil rights leader

sometime in your life.

QotD: Never Give Up
Never give up on something you can't go a single day without thinking about.

(I am suspicious of the word "never". It goes right in with "always" and "should". And I notice that after a while, the thought occurrences of a person who is gone do decrease. Maybe never completely gone, but at least not so torturous. I do however think that this quote, as a mantra, is destructive by encouraging obsessive thought, and will impede the process of letting go, and hence I apologize for posting it. I just had to.)

Anusara Yoga's 12th Anniversary
...or birthday, if you prefer. August 15th marked 12 years after John Friend first penned the mission statement for Anusara yoga. He worked hard to put his vision into words, and the beauty of the vision was enough to bring many practitioners into the fold. His school of hatha yoga has quickly become widespread around the world. I am one of the many who have been enchanted by it.
Here is John Friend's blog about the beginnings of Anusara.
Also, here is Friend's writeup of ethics for the yoga teacher.
That's him in the brown T-shirt and white hair. Do you GET the joy???
