My friend-in-bliss and fellow Yogini, Kristina "Yogafly" Lanuza, encouraged me to start blogging, nearly two years ago. (Drum roll please...) Here-I-Am. I'm curious to witness the how's and if's of this little adventure. A new beginning, no doubt. As a matter of fact, recently, I began to realize that every moment is basically, a new beginning. How fascinating it is to have the opportunity as each moment evolves into the next to change everything, while having the wisdom to feel the essence within us and everything around us that never changes at all. Ahhh, Consciousness. Gotta love the ever-changing-changeless-beingness from which all of life emanates outward and inward, simultaneously.
The intention behind this is simple: it is. Life. It is Bliss Like This. You can feel bliss in every moment. Bliss is the energy that flows through my heart and into my fingers as I type these words. Bliss is my Yoga & Meditation practice. Bliss is my friends near and far. And sometimes bliss is experienced through anger and raw emotion too. Bliss is everything. Over the past three years, I learned not to separate myself from anything.
Today, bliss is especially the SUN -- today is picture perfect, as I sit quietly and reflectively, the sun illuminates my inner most feelings. As it shines down and reflects light off the trees. Trees that in just a few weeks will burst into a multi-colored bliss of LOVE & FALL. I can hear the silent echo of the universe chant Ooommmmm - with a certain magic I search to know more intimately each day - and humbly hold together all that is.
Om Shantih Shantih Shantih Om.
