Gentle reminder this holiday season to have but not indulge. For even life-giving breath is given to you. You cannot hold on to it; you must let it go to take in the next one. And one day, you will let go of it for the last time.

Why #yoga? Yehudi Menuhin's foreword to Light on Yoga (Iyengar):
"What is the alternative? Thwarted, warped people condemning the order of things ... autocrats slumped in expectant coronary attitudes, the tragic spectacle of people working out their own imbalance and frustration on others."

A Great Day in Harlem
On Aug. 12, 1958, Art Kane gathered 58 jazz notables in front of a Harlem brownstone for a group portrait.
Only one of its subjects is still alive: the saxophonist Sonny Rollins, 94, who spoke about the historic image.

To see the pattern is to not
Be deceived by the deception
To not struggle towards an
Imaginary truth, lost in the folds
Of complex philosophies

Those who succeed,
Expect success
And those who fail
Fear failure
The habitually fearful
Have moments of hope
The habitually hopeful

You want to get to something
To health, to revelation, to divinity
And this getting to gets you nowhere

I really need to get better at finding pleasure in being alive and simply existing, rather than constantly thinking "If I can just get through this ordeal..." and "If I can just get past that deadline..." Then what? The next ordeal or deadline, and repeat, until death?

Tip for writers, especially academics . . .
Always look out for good things.
"For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time."
― Zora Neale Hurston

“I know I’m a burden Cowboy. I went to see about my funeral. The man at Morgan’s funeral parlour said that it would cost $300 to open and close the grave, $85 for a headstone. I’m getting old Cowboy. My eyes. My eyes are going. I’ve been in the hospital. I… I don’t want to leave Cowboy.”
