Yogini’s Quest

December 1st marks month #7 in Korea.
I’m wondering why it took me so long to have my life fill up so much.  Though I miss my family tremendously (cousin and new-wife included), I am really loving it here.
Suddenly, five days are passing between email responses and making actual phone calls at a reasonable time to [...]

The mind is energy, so regulate it

Tracy asked me to send her a picture wearing the pendant I purchased for Operation Shanti.  I wanted to have a little fun with the picture so I put my camera on a timer and took some movement shots.  Anyway, if you don’t have a pendant, I encourage you [...]

It’s forgiveness that makes us what we are. Without forgiveness, our species would’ve annihilated itself in endless retributions. Without forgiveness, there would be no history. Without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness. Without that dream, there would be no love, for [...]

Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you’ll find you’re doing the impossible

I had a little bit of a clash this past weekend with one of my girlfriends.  It bothered me so much that I didn’t feel like myself after it happened Sat night.  I could feel my self withdrawing.  I wanted to hide behind my fake smile and the 10 year old within was conjuring up [...]

I love, love, love it.
Help support Tracy and Operation Shanti – spread the love!

With all the frustrations and anxiety of the practice (mind and life) – don’t be so serious!!
