eat
rest
rove in between
render loyalty
love the children
cavil in the moonlight
tune your ears
attend to the bones
make love
howl often
- general wolf rules for life
clarissa pinkola estés
i actually feel those who practice
yoga together are a pack..
a wolf pack..a coyote pack..
the dictionary defines pack thusly -
a group of wild animals,
especially wolves,
living and hunting together
don't you think that sounds like us..?
living..the wise art of yoga
hunting.. the luminosity of momentary bliss
living..the yamas and the niyamas
hunting.. truth in the pathless land..
living... a joyous poetic life ..
hunting...bounty with the snare of gratitude *
yep! that's us, alright..

afterthought
such a precious human body,
difficult to rediscover;
such precious pain,
not difficult to discover;
such an old story
is by now a familiar joke.
you and i know the facts and the case history;
we have a mutual understanding of each other
which has never been sold or bought by anyone.
our mutual understanding keeps the thread of sanity.
sometimes the thread is electrified,
sometimes it is smeared with honey and butter;
nevertheless, we have no regrets.
since i am here,
seemingly you are here too.
let us practice!
sitting is a jewel that ornaments our precious life.

...because you experience joy and celebration in your practice,
it does not feel like a burden to you.
therefore, you aspire further and further.
you would like to attain enlightenment.
you would like to be free from neurosis.
you would also like to serve all "mother sentient beings"
throughout all times, all situations, at any moment.
you are willing to become a rock or a bridge or a highway.
you are willing to serve any worthy cause
that will help the rest of the world.
this is the same basic kind of aspiration
as in taking the bodhisattva vow.
it is also general instruction of becoming a pliable person,
so that the world can use you as a working basis for
their enjoyment of sanity.
