...two o... two o...
...in a state of Om... Om trymabakum yejamahe...
...Connected with the 3... as ALLAH prefers odd numbers...
...we are an odd creature... humans... me... you... our species... so engaged in our uniforms... in these garbs we were...
...i'd like to believe i look at how you were your uniform... not the materials you place on it... not the brands of blood sweat from 3rd world countries to make you feel expensive... i look at your spirit... not your words... not your clothes... atleast no the branded ones...
...a friend of mind had all these critiques of the world of white people, of oppression... of the movement... this and that... he ate indiscriminately and held a reek so intense that nausua... his clothes were sloppy...
...what you wear on the outside can also be a reflection of your inside... your inner Being... clean... together... creative and with a light footprint on our Beloved planet...
...summer solstice... cleaned the srotas, squeezed the dhatus... built up the ojas in my morning asana practice... in ujyaai...
...write to You... dear You... it is Always You....
...this summer solstice i pause to see what is around me... what is in the Light... the thoughts that profane... that hurt me and you... the ones that are extraneous... and the ones that are sattvic... keep me in tune with the sahasara and flow through lake meru in a harmony of ida pingala... nadhi shhudi...
...in a space of building ojas... in keeping my seeds within... in breath and meditation that keeps me from dopamine pathways that like dope provide a highly ephemeral high with an immediate crash burn why did i do that...
...this summer solstice... i put to light the past 6... since winter solstice... since the death of the sun... the sun has ascended... has returned... prodigal... have i?... how have i?...
...last 6 have been domestic... winter... corona... a few events... door to door school pamphlets... keeping the car in park.. getting it passed... cooking... stroganoff... mushroom and zuchhini stroganoff to be exact... chocolate bars with an oat date base, date peanutbutter paste and dark chocolate coconut oil coating... zuchinni carrot pasta... single dishes - radish and red onion... turnip fries... okra in tomatoes...
...last 6 has been strong steady asana practice embracing discomfort... but with little seeking out of workshopping blocks that keep me from completing intermediate and tertiary series...
...last 6 saw a steady vinyasa in writing... but this has been precluded by summer hangs... especially in light of cafes being closed...
...last 6 has been a growth and reinforcement in some friendships... the Noble g... the Royal s, emperor... Grand step... Sire d... Know... mo... 1-who-Knows... guru-ji ammu and guruji abbu... the Brother naum... sweet ba...
...the last 6 has been paying off some debts - tuitions - rent... and also saving...
...ramadhan... full moons...
...hanging sparsely with young... L the scientist musician...
...back in the gorges... what has been in the dark - patterns - coming into town... walking... looking for conversations... meetings... encounters... human to human...
...in the dark has been the stories... novels...
...in the dark has been the medicines... kits... clients... medicine man...
..in the dark has been wife kids family...ontop of family... village...
...in the dark has been home...
...in the dark has been dreams...
...how do i bring these to Light?...
...how do i
