…and a(nother) good time was had by all.  Here are a few of the pictures I took.  It was seriously overcast and somewhat sprinkly and cool outdoors. That alone will prompt another visit soon when it’s sunny.  The outdoors is magnificent.  Aside from the high tension wires and local vegetation, I could imagine myself transported to India. Between my visit in 2017 and this one I have continued to learn…

Towards the end of my first 200 hr of IYT at Kripalu Center, 2000)  we were asked to choose a topic that we wanted to study using the techniques and practices we were learning.   I struggled to find a topic. Specialization was contrary to my personal philosophy of Yoga.  I  wanted to be skilled in ways to help everyone.  But choose I did and I narrowed it down to stress…

Geometric drawing has taken me on quite a cultural journey.  Today, I understand why geometry is sacred. Initially I became interested in what is known as Islamic geometry.  Examples of it’s artistry are found around the world and on this website.   In holy and humble places, the patterns are everywhere once you *see* them.  Straight lines dominate but movement, fluidity, and spiraling is evident, especially with the addition of the…

WHO’S WHO? They’ve been in the news alot lately, getting analyzed every which way.  So, I got curious and gathered together their birth info to create this who’s who on the Supreme Court in Dec.2022.  Can you figure out who’s who?  It’s a fun little exercise if learning astrology.  Each of these charts was calculated only from mo/dd/yr of birth.  No time or location was used.  I’ve place the SUN…

I found this passage recently…  it’s part of the conversation between Krishna & Arjuna.  Gazillions of words have been spoken and written and debated and turned into graphic novels to re-tell the story of the Bhagavad Gita. The Matsya Vedh  (Piercing-Eye) competition is one of a few different archery competitions that Arjuna had engaged in to achieve his dharma.   Shooting at an eagle eye was another. Hindu mythology has lots of…

Another Sri Yantra.  I always have to say to myself, “4 up and 5 down” because it’s so easy to line up the nine triangles in the wrong direction. I’ve written about this ancient image before.  Check out these posts.  back to the drawing board……………   Sri Yantra

You might want to read this first.….? A week ago the moon passed thru the Aries portion of the zodiac where she tackled the complications that arise from Jupiter, Chiron, Mars, and Eris in Aries as well.    She’s calmer now in Taurus.

I’m now in my seventh decade of life here, this time around, and find myself still firmly rooted in the same vicinity of my birthplace, Neptune………… New Jersey, that is. The fact that planet Neptune is located near the nadir of my horoscope is a constant source of amusement.  Synchronicity, you know? During High School I was on the staff of The Megaphone, the APHS newspaper.  At one time I…
