Hand to Earth Yoga. Yoga as Embodiment and the Growth of Acceptance. June 24, 2015. 8216;The first step toward change is awareness. The second is acceptance.’ (Nathaniel Branden). 8216;…be loyal to life, don’t create fiction but accept what life is giving you, show yourself worthy of whatever it may be by recollecting and pondering over it, thus repeating in imagination, this is the way to remain alive. ’ (Hannah Arendt, as quoted by Marion Woodman)*. Vanda Scaravelli says in her book Awakening the Spine.

I Tell the Trees |
https://handtoearth.wordpress.com/2015/01/28/i-tell-the-trees
Hand to Earth Yoga. I Tell the Trees. January 28, 2015. Our walk around Cley Hill fort today. My veiled head circling in random undulations. Spiralling up tussled trails, tread lopsided. Rushing down grassy slopes, thwarted in furrows. Scanning the stark soil, now snagged by barbed wire. I, a promontory, defended and miles from it’s heart. Am prowling mind’s battlements. Dutiful yet distracted; watchful yet numb. And because I cannot tell you. I tell the trees. And they whisper such a sheltering applause.

Hand to Earth Yoga. Edge in the Nature of Things III. July 15, 2015. Painting by Nicola Slattery http:/ www.nicolaslattery.com/. Sometimes the ground on which we’ve stood for years-. That room, where objects we’ve known rest against its edges,. Containing us like signposts on a pilgrimage-. That place in nature, where spirit drops our feet. So much closer to the grass…. Sometimes the ground that has carried us. Requires us to lean, fall over even,. To trip over our step, step across a threshold,. And hea...

Hand to Earth Yoga. Edge in the Nature of Things II. July 11, 2015. While once, perusing the life-lines of your face,. Its landmarks of grace, failure; pathways of shadow, light,. The question lingered, ‘What it is that has brought you salvation? I now see this as a telling for your rest bed, your death-bower,. Where witness to the silence imbuing every life hangs…. No, now what I want to know is this:. What is it that has brought you. To the edge places of your life? Into the bone and matter of things?

Elemental Walk |
https://handtoearth.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/elemental-walk
Hand to Earth Yoga. May 20, 2015. The green cocoon of the field. Carried dew to my eyes yesterday,. To my hips and thighs. Was I wandering into some jealous grip. Of the One whose cloak and staff. On days like these,. When the sinews of life’s effort,. That infernal reach for freedom,. Seem set loose, like blowing chaff. On the tail of the wind,. I find also the weight of its mantle;. Not a burden of much comfort, only flames. Meanwhile ancestry calls; deep tones. From the blue shadows of the grass.

Sun Set – May 2015 |

Hand to Earth Yoga. Sun Set – May 2015. May 5, 2015. Sun Set May 2015. To see death is to touch life, she said,. Turning her head to look at him,. Turning west, that is,. Towards the framed light of a dipping sun. This happened as we sat in the quiet room,. Wooden floors, orange wall,. A cluster of plants by the window,. A peppering of oriental objects,. The array of thumbed books,. Stacked and propped in coloured slants. On all of this, the sun was setting,. And pausing most tangibly, it seemed,. You ar...
