Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through, and be silent.

-The Prophet Mohammed (from Day 251, Meditations from the Mat:  Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga, Rolf Gates)

I wake early today.  I enjoy the burring sound of the cats playing in the hallway, the scratch of the dogs as the hear me rise expecting to be fed, the gentle snoring of my husband, the stillness of the house.  Today, like any day, is going to be busy (I’m off to Day 2 of Great Beginnings to volunteer for union) but I this…this is golden.
