A New Plan

I had all intentions of replacing the kitchen faucet today. Last night I bought a new one, and this morning I cleaned the kitchen, took everything out from under the sink, and got my tools, safety glasses and droplight. I got underneath the sink and realized I have only ever changed out the stems. I know how this is accomplished, but I didn’t swap out the faucet last time. Because I can’t do it as well, I had hired a plumber.

So I have called a plumber.

 

To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment. Those who cannot do it will be destroyed on the lathe of heaven.

I’m switching to paint and caulk, then.

There is at least one report that eyewitnesses saw police comparing targeted protestors to photos before making the arrests, which is consistent with stories of police surveillance of Occupy Oakland protestors. These arrests also follow months of harassment of Occupy Oakland by Oakland police, harassment which seems to have intensified in the past few weeks. Reasons for some of the most recent arrests include carrying a yoga mat and having a bike in the plaza.

Cate’s Curried Pumpkin Seeds
Cate Stillman’s Yogahealer is a great resource. I was just thinking I needed a little zing in my plain old pumpkin seeds. This makes it easy.

Pumpkin seeds are one of those amazing fall & winter foods you probably don’t eat enough of. I started roasting at least 1/2  pound a week and noticed they would disappear fast. Simply roasting them with a little oil, salt and spice makes you feel like a gourmet chef. I also use this recipe when I bake an acorn squash.

Yoga philosophy is sublimely simple, profound, and livable. Yet it can be difficult to grasp because of its unfamiliar language and complex history.

My aim here is to capture the essence of Yoga philosophy in plain English, with a touch of fun. I hope beginners will be inspired to learn more and…



 


When we get out of alignment with Spirit and we try to make or expect life to be something different than it really is, suffering happens. We all experience pain and suffering, but it is not the quintessential nature of life. Just because the earth turns away from the sun and night occurs doesn’t mean that the sun isn’t always shining. It might be hard to see sometimes, but goodness and divine beauty can always be found if you adjust your vision just right.
