a pretty hilarious take on the downside of consumerism by the onion. i have certainly bought into this mentality - that obtaining an item would make me happier, better, whatever - but it just isn’t true. it’s especially easy at this time of year to get caught up in this line of thinking with all of the gift buying.
deep breaths!

karma class
Updated: Citizen Effect has asked me to work on this project instead. I hope you can come to the workshop!
Please join me for a special 2 hour heart-opening karma yoga workshop from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, December 13 to benefit Jogad Village in India. In the true giving spirit of the holiday season, open your hearts to give what you can to help raise the $1100 this village needs for water tanks.
The impoverished village of Jogad is situated along the Kutch desert in Gujarat’s Surendranagar District. Life for Jogad’s 1,350 residents is centered on earning a limited income as salt farmers. Every year, 95% of the village’s population migrates to the nearby desert where they remain for eight months to labor in the saltpans.
In the desert, Jogad’s population does not have consistent access to a safe drinking water. Families depend on the water supplied to the region by government tankards. Unfortunately, these tankards cannot reach the commune of tents where Jogad’s villagers live. Instead, the community must pay for private vehicles to deliver their water. This expense represents a serious sacrifice for all of Jogad’s families, 95% of whom live below the poverty line.
Even their limited water supply presents issues for Jogad’s families as they lack a means of safely storing the little they receive. Women and children are forced to journey every day between 10-15 km to gather water for their survival. When there is none available, villagers resort to drinking anything they have, contributing to health problems and a loss of productivity. s.
This project will ensure that 50 of Jogad’s families are supplied with a 200-liter water tank with which they can safely store and distribute water. The funded tanks will be durable, light weight, and rust proof. They will not require serious maintenance and villagers will be able to easily transport them back and forth from the desert.

Namaste!
a storm’s a brewin’…and it has me feeling a little blah. i skipped out on practice today in favor of ice cream, gotta do that sometimes. there’s yoga in everything - it’s all about your intention.
“ I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die discover that I had not lived. ”
Henry David Thoreau
“
listen: this world is the lunatic’s sphere,
don’t always agree it’s real,
even with my feet upon it
and the postman knowing my door
my address is somewhere else.
”

just happened upon this poem, which beautifully echoes saul’s sentiments on friday
