“Beloved Coach,
i was Full of Fire tonight for my L(ate)MR practice (as opposed to EMR!) followed by the Basic HP Prop workout. Mostly because of a lovely girl i’ve met, and all that experience is triggering…whoa…HEAVY STUFF, MAN!!! i am so fear-full of falling in love again and flowing with all that seems to entail…all of the change…all of the vulnerability…”
COACH RESPONDS:
DADDY: you know what sweetheart?
DEWA: what?
i’m sure you’ve felt this too, cuz, well, you know…you ARE a Kids Author…but, when i write books? they just kinda bleed from me…
the yogi has no place,
no space…
just a Dance
Gifted from the Divine…
whether others understand this Sacred Dance?
does not matter…
what matters?
the Dancing…
through It All (Lila)…
“Daddy?”
“Yes, Sweetheart?”
“Sometimes, when we are fishing…i feel so peaceful…like…yoga.”
“That’s an awesome sharing, Dewa! thank you! yeah, i reckon fishin’ is just another form of yoga…if it’s yogis that are fishin!”
“Hey, WE are yogis!”
“That’s right, daughter, we ARE yogis!”

and…WAY more importantly?
