in(tro)verted

Gravity is the source of lightness,
Calm, the master of haste.
-tao te ching 26

Cycles and circles, up and down, inspire and exspire.
This moment I am content with the content in my moments,
Stilling the constant changing states of my mind constantly.
As winter yin gives way to yang new wood and the liver,
Invert gravity for levity and bring the mirth to your hearth.

groundhogs day

this month flew by...so groundhogs day has some nostalgic meaning to me. I think February is always my month where I get my shit together and start doing.  I started a yoga teacher certification course which is totally awesome and I am now a student of bodywork and massage therapy studying accupressure, kinesiology, Thai-Shiatsu, and many other interesting things.  I never really thought I would finally be doing this but I feel like it fits me very well.  I am aligning with my dharma...both puns intended.  The snow was crazy and my body is totally sore from shoveling out literally seven feet of snow in front of my garage.  We'll see how this year shapes up and what relationships bloom.  I just want to say to you: whatever works for you please cherish it.  hold on to whatever you can, whatever love you have and anything you hold dear.  savor it.  be thankful. don't become attached though and train yourself to let it go when its time but enjoy it while you have it. whatever works. anyway you can get it. I'm not the relationship type but I think I found a way to do my part and make the world.  so its made.  
I really love sweet potatoes.  I started incorporating them as an element of cooked food into my whole system.  I love coca tea.  I love jiaogulan tea.  I love chaga reishi tea.  I love lots of things and I have a new more balance perspective all the time me thinks.  THANK YOU.  I'll see you later than sooner.  love forever and always, 
reishi-wan  

so this is the new year

The holidays are over and it's a relief.
Christmas was nice, and my birthday was ok.
