There’s no solace
above or below.
Only us —
small,
solitary,
striving,
battling one another.
I pray to myself,
for myself.

Same.
Tomorrow:
Try. Take a different route to work.

Try.

Sunday Morning: Holi. Festival of Colors.
“If you notice the instances under which people gather in large groups, in coliseums, in stadiums – it usually has to do with contention, competition, rivalry, partisanship. The Festival of Colors stands out from those events because there is none of that competition or rivalry or sectarianism. People are gathered together just about celebrating our own spirituality and creator from whom we come…He’s present within his name. Whenever you are chanting any bona fide name of God, God is dancing on the tip of your tongue. Life becomes simple. Life becomes streamlined and pared down – – to love of God and love of one’s fellow living beings…We’re all basically the same. There’s unity in diversity. Underneath all that, there is a natural outpouring of love.”

Eat. Pray. Work. Love.
Tanmay Vora @ QAspire wrote an excellent post titled: 8 Life Lessons From Yoga Workshop where he shares 8 lessons from a renowned spiritual teacher and a Yogi. Here’s 2 excerpts:
Discipline is a pre-requisite for greatness….Yoga is about persistent practice. Whatever we decide to do, we need to do it everyday. Religiously. Regularly. Systematically. Thoughtfully. Discipline beats resistance we encounter while attempting difficult stuff.
Eat. Pray. Work. Love. In one of the sessions, our teacher asked us to recite the following words: “Eat half, Double the intake of water, exercise three times more, laugh four times more (remain happy), work five times more and pray ten times more”. It is a simple, yet very powerful advice for health and happiness.
