om aham prema
find myself coming back (home) to bhava’s lessons because of the lovely music he plays (both live and on stereo) and his resounding, thunderous voice. dude can make adho mukha svanasana sound like a commandment, and anjali mudra an endearment so sweet you could cry. which, of course, is exactly the way it all needs to be.

we are a happy home
that first night we drove off a dirt road and, by the light of stars, pitched a tent. the milky way burned white overhead. in the morning the world was made anew, each move a sacrament. every particular a loving testament to the wonder of being anything at all.
in town, we feasted on orange & carrot juice. it only seemed right to anoint ourselves with it.
& spent the day exploring...

true fax! I just saw food inc. it made me so grateful to know I live in a community with not just a famous co-operative market but also a famous year-round farmer’s market. and so, so sad to consider the big picture. kali yuga, for sure.

out back, in our alley, the stars overhead shone cold. we paused, transfixed by the size of the wild and darkening yonder. one far light burned brighter than the others, planet size. plane size. still, it did not move like a plane, was not still like a planet. it wavered, its colors oscillated in fluid waves. it traced a triangle in the night sky. it mimicked geometry lessons, then, adding points,...
