Asanas Daily So I'm Very Flexible.

A rainy night, piano tinkling in the background like the din of Miles Davis’ tin trumpet, Kind of Blue, reverberating off of the passing neon signs and drip drop of a winter rain storm in the city. People walking quickly, here to there, Christmas decorations adorn the otherwise bleak cityscape. So many street lights just to illuminate this cutting world. The artifices that we create. I am digging up that amber light, so that it beams like a beacon out of my solar plexus. My hope is that other like-minded individuals will be attracted to it like a moth to a flame [though I promise not to burn you!], and we’ll start our haven arm in arm. There are three. These vibes are like seeds, and they multiply!

Forget the second-guessing. Forget the indecision. The feeling like you don’t fit. You do; you always have.

You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though the melancholy
was terrible.

Today is international AIDS/HIV awareness day. Donate some money towards researching a cure. 95% of those infected live in developing countries. As if they don't have enough to worry about! Ship a carton of condoms to the Cote D'Ivoire. Our resources... so scattered. So ineffectual. Here is to hoping that this decade brings medical breakthroughs, and not just war and political malfeasance. (Ukraine, I'm looking in your direction.)
