Tomorrow's Yoga, Important, Please read

    Hello,
I just came back from a day of Jury Duty and I will have to report tomorrow at 10AM.   Therefore, I have to cancel tomorrow's yoga.   The make up day is Friday, May 4 at 10:30AM.   If you can make it on Friday, please make it up on another day.

I was naive to think this morning that I would go there and would be released.   I will keep you posted, because I am hoping that tomorrow will be the end of it.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

I just thought of you

I thought of you, my dear yoga friends, when I heard this read to me today in a yoga class.  Hope it will brighten your day as it did mine.

ON A DAY WHEN THE WIND IS PERFECT

 

On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.

 

My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life
that it always
keeps

 

each morning.

 

The living heart gives to us as does that luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great
tenderness.

 

This is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum.  Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?

 

Peace is wonderful,
but ecstatic dance is more fun, and less narcissistic;
gregarious He makes our lips.

 

On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.

 

Today is such
a day.

 

~ Rumi ~

hike and yoga this Sunday

Thanks for all your suggestions for hiking trails:

Henderson Park Trails, Mary Scott Nature Preserve trails, Mason Mill
Park Trail, Stone Mountain, Hahn Woods at Emory.

This Sunday, I would like to suggest that we go to the Mason Mill Park
off McConnell Drive. We can car pool and meet at OGUMC's parking lot
at Fair Oaks at 2:30PM and leave at 2:35. Arriving around 2:50, we
start our hike which I understand will take us about 45 minutes one way
and then another 45 minutes to come to McConnell Drive. We will be done
on time to drive back to OGUMC to start our yoga at 5PM.

I can drive Sequoia which will seat 7 people besides me. Please let me
know if you will be able to join me for this hike so we can organize the
car pool.

We will try the other trails in weeks to come. Also we can have a
shorter walk at Mary Scott on a Tuesday before the 10:30AM yoga at BUMC.
