THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE:
We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
...more experts, but more problems;
more medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We built more computers to hold more information to produce
more copies then ever, but have less communication;
We have become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of fast food but slow digestion;
Tall man but short character;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It's a time when there is much in the window,
but nothing in the room.
—Dalai Lama

Rebirth - Refresh - Renew
Spring has sprung, and the momentum of planetary changes is definitely picking up speed. As the world continues to spin into this wave of uncertainty, I am more grateful then ever to have Yoga in my life to help me feel stable and to keep my priorities and values clear. It is such a blessing to have ritual in our lives, and to take time to offer prayers and blessings of peace. Especially potent is to have a community, or Sanghat, of committed seekers that gather together in the spirit of peace and self inquiry.
