Beloved Ones,
Greetings of Peace in this time of “Dire Beauty” *
These days I deeply appreciate the sentiment of Integral Yoga’s closing chant: Lokka Somasta Sukino Bhavantu. Approximate translation: May all beings be free from suffering.
In my daily meditation and prayers I ask spirit for help illuminating my own judgements and habitual thinking. The learning and uncovering is life-long. I’m deeply grateful for having a practice. Also I am infinitely grateful to my students for sharing their time to practice with me. It becomes more clear each day that we are each other’s teachers and in the big picture I know so little, but desire to love more and forgive more and not sweat the small stuff.
The Month of August begins with the Festival of Lughnasadh, or Lammas. This feast celebrates the fruits of the harvest, the grains especially. Its a time for making bread or eating a good home baked local bread. We have a wonderful opportunity to do just that on the Saturdays now at the Pawling Farmer’s market. The Pawling Bread company will be opening a new store in the village. More on that later!
