Even Plants Grow and Expand In Their Self-Contained Environment

Below: When They Were Planted July 11, 2016



After I've done my yoga practice and made brunch for myself earlier, I couldn't help but have some quick ruminations today.  I also made close observations on those plantings I have had since mid July this year.

My friend Ed B gave me those stems from the cuttings he made from an older plant that he said originally came from a friend who brought them from Florida. Let me figure out that statement more closely. 

I'm amazed at these simple but awesome yet generally ignored exhibitions of growth events happening in nature. I suppose it follows that we human beings have that in ourselves, that capacity to grow and expand even within just by ourselves. It continues even after we've died --- I have seen that from my deceased Father who in his casket continued to grow his mustache, somewhat. 

I'm grateful for these capacities the whole universe has provided each one of us. It's that connection and link we've got with each other, even in the midst of confusion, troubles, problems and other challenges that we have and face as long as we're alive.

With that realization, I am assured about the outcomes of my continuing efforts in growth, expansion, explosion, implosion, development, improvement of what I have got in my hands. Thank you for this. 

Gratefully, I will continue moving on with this life each moment that I still have.

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica.

The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
