Some earlier wisdom on this ‘thing’ called death Hafiz- How Fascinating the idea of death Can be. Too bad though, Because It just isn’t True. Krishnamurti - Death is the new, and life as continuance is only memory, an empty thing. With the new, life and death are one We are frightened of ending: but without ending, how can there be the new? Without death how can there be...
Read MoreDEATH as Yoga
It has been said that we die every day. If we can agree that our hatha yoga practice is in essence a mirror of how we move in our everyday lives, then each time we take to the mat we experience a kind of death, a letting go. Each posture is asking us to let go of how we think we are supposed to move. Each posture often asks us to ‘put to rest’ a pattern or rut that we have been...

Angel-Bill Brouard Going through open-heart surgery and at one point being asked “how do you feel about getting on a heart replacement list?” One’s mind cannot help but race to and through all the possibilities, including that of death. Probably no other topic has more charge to it, fear associated with it, stories grown up around it than this big question. I, like many...

Reading at Anara practice 6/13/2012 If for a moment God would forget that I am a rag doll and give me a scrap of life, possibly I would not say everything that I think, but I would definitely think everything that I say. I would value things not for how much they are worth but rather for what they mean. I would sleep little, dream more. I know that for each minute that we close our eyes we lose...
Read MoreI thought to myself…
11/22/2011 I thought to myself: Whats to be has happened; likely my journey nears its end. There seems to be no road ahead, no more work for me. Today, it seems, my provisions for the journey have run out. As my life has become worn out I’ll have to go behind that silent screen in my torn and dirty garb. But today what do I clearly see? The same unending game- the same undercurrent of...
Read MoreLet Go
Reading at Waimea 05/21/2011 Let go of that which is gone. Let go of that which is lost. Let go of that which is not yet happening. What has happened in the past and what will happen in the future exist only in your mind. What is happening now is the infinite caress of the universe. To touch the eternal now and let it enfold you in its infinite Love is the essence of being in love. What is...
