We’ve heard the saying, ‘health is an inside job’ or ‘let food be thy medicine’ famously attributed to good old Hippocrates. However I had not come across the principle that ‘health is always present’ or maybe not heard it stated in such uncompromising terms. But even hearing this universal principle which originated with one of the founding fathers of osteopathy lit something in me. I have just began the Somatic Intelligence course led by the wonderful @realmsofdance to take steps towards empowering my knowledge of health as well as systems of healing but also to perhaps one day be able to help others in the way that I have benefitted from compassionate and insightful therapists 🙏🏼

‘Respect the unpredictability of life, Sufi and Soleil’ I wrote when these images were taken in Mumbai on September 11, 2019, ‘have enough faith and resilience to be the hero of your own story. And never stop dancing: dance with whatever comes your way.’
.
Looking back, I can’t help but reflect on the portentous weight of these words. They are reminders and talismans, as I forget and remember, over and over, of what is essential to live in the world today.

Happy Independence Day!

And because sharing is caring, the girls have been wearing the same @lovetheworldtoday.in purple bandhini set on alternate days. What months of teachings and songs could not accomplish, fashion did. Remember fashionistas: sharing is caring, recycling your ensembles is caring and supporting conscious, ethical brands is also caring ❤️

My dear friend Leonie the lioness posted this from Italy. She herself is a talented wordsmith and appreciation from my inner circle of gypsy artists and poet lawyers is second to none.
Repost: The truth is I dont read much these days. I miss reading. I’ve been carrying this memoir around with me for months, optimistically imagining a mental chatter-free window while I wait in the school car queue. Funny that it was here, in Lucca, under these branches, that the window flung itself open. Lisa has been here. She may have sat under this very olive tree. How marvellous to read a great book. What a gift to read a great book written by a friend. If you know (or think you know) Lisa, get this book. If you dont know Lisa, get this book. Lisa Ray (wherever you are in the world), I heard your voice and felt you on every page of this journey. Thank you for being so bold and so raw. Close To The Bone

Repost from @aninditaghose using @RepostRegramApp – The German artist Cornelia Konrads creates these gravity-defying portals with branches and twigs in forests. They slowly fall apart over time.
I’ve seen this artwork used in the context of ‘mermerosity’—“the anticipatory state of being worried about the possible passing of the familiar and its replacement by that which does not sit comfortably in one’s sense of place.” It’s one of the many words coined by philosopher Glenn A. Albrecht in ‘Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World’ (2019). Albrecht has created a whole new lexicon to match our mutating relationship with nature.

There were flowers here once
And place to call your own
a little dwelling
on the ginger skin of the earth.
Now
I can’t look down.
Not for fear of a tumble from a careless cloud
No.
But because there were flowers here once
and now
only longing
thirsty eyes and an orchard of desires.

Repost from @pemalotus using @RepostRegramApp – “No matter where you stay—be it a busy place or a solitary retreat—
the only things that you need to conquer are mind’s five poisons*
and your own true enemies—the eight wordly concerns**. Nothing else.
Whether it is by avoiding, transforming, taking them as the path or looking into their very essence—whichever method is best suited to your own capacity.”
– Kyabje Chatral Sangye Dorje
* Ignorance, greed, hatred, jealousy, and pride.
** Loss and gain, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, insignificance and fame.

“There is something curious about a woman’s anger. A spark can set alight a whole forest, once wet and green. And it burns and burns, fuelled by the memory of past injustices borne not just by them but the women before them — their mothers and grandmothers, sisters and aunts, friends and maids, the women in stories, witches, princesses, queens and goddesses.”
