“Every moment of your daily life can be a moment of practice. Whether you are waiting for your food or lining up to be counted, you can always practice breathing mindfully or practice smiling. Do not waste a moment of your daily life. Every moment is an opportunity to cultivate your solidity, peace, and joy. And, after a few days, you will see people beginning to profit from your presence. Your presence can become the presence of a bodhisattva, a saint. It is possible.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

excerpt from, “Be Free Where You Are.”

yesterday, I took Kathy, Teacher Q, Student Dorman, and visiting HP Yoga Teacher, Claudia up to my secret boulder nestled with the pastoral ridges in the nearby Santa Monica mountains. the magic which inevitably arises from within movement mingled with breath sang with sweet succulence through our cells as the wildflowers waved in seeming applause.

today, i thank the following beings for making the last few days of my life feel so remarkably Blessed:

Wayne and Marcia Williams, the Emmy Award winning photographers/producers for my next book:

Nikki Taylor

a yoga teacher from my old hometown of Pagosa Springs, Colorado who stayed with Kathy and i the last couple of days. thank you Nikki, for filling my spirit with stories of old friends and places from the Land of Healing Waters. when i allow a person to do their solo Practice in my home Zendo/Yoga room, i can tell a lot about their character. the etheral “footprint” which Nikki left in my zendo was as genuine and true as was her smile and her humility. though my ego self tears at me to return to Pagosa Springs or Santa Fe or Tesuque nearly everyday, Nikki’s presence graced my home and soothed my pensive pain. i bow to Nikki. if you live ANYWHERE NEAR the Four Corners of our great nation, do yourself a favor and hook up with her for a private session:

Claudia Cuellar

my most beautiful and devoted Student and Certified HP Yoga Teacher. it takes A LOT of chi to become one of my Certified HP Yoga Teachers. often, entire occupational, life, and/or relationship changes are required. Claudia has stepped up to every inch of it with passionate embrace and acceptance. She now teaches HP Yoga at America’s top rated hotel spa: The Peninsula Club in Chicago. you can check the schedule at: www.peninsula.com.

Claudia is hanging out with Kathy and I again in LA to refresh her Practice and our Love of each other within the WF Dharma. Claudia’s inner radiance is skylike. if you live ANYWHERE NEAR Chicago, do yourself a favor and hook up with her for a private session if you can…as she is in quite the demand:
