		<title>Slipping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sliding.  Greasing the rails for purpose.  For rescue.  Rescue back the the things I love.  Rescue back the best parts of what and who I am.  Rescue the sinking dream.  Without pushing, without laboring, without forcing it.  Without pain.  Slowly, slowly, slowly go.  Slowly yet back the narrowest toll.  Slowly now and slowly again.  Slowly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=359&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Oldness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Creaky bones Jones. Damnit, I don&#8217;t want to feel older. I don&#8217;t want to feel the wear and tear. A major disadvantage to starting yoga early in your twenties is by the time you&#8217;re in your thirties, you can see a stunning difference in the ability of the body to adapt.
In particular, it sucks.
I just [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=357&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jasmine blooms, bar be ques, ocean breezes, that tingly sensation in the warmer air.  Summertime bike rides and hot nights and long days and cool cocktails in the late afternoon with sunglasses on, sunny faces warm.  The shala hot early, hot late, easy warmness to get into.  Travel plans, work plans, play [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=354&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Returning to surface</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day after day in the deeply, impossibly blue.  Blue enough to redefine blueness.  Blues so blue that my eyes actually changed color to try and keep up out of sheer envy.  Breathing slowly, clearly, purely.  Surrounded by the sound of breath, the sound of whale song.  Whale song loud enough [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=352&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pre Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Centered piston thinking.  Round opens to round, and down and up and down.  Sometimes, that&#8217;s just the way it is.  Firing on all cylinders, one might say.  With discretion never before employed to this degree.  We see&#8230;only what we are meant to see&#8230;.  The seeing brings gifts, and traumas, and little buddhas in their teflon [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=350&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Spring Equinox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The full moon rose over the Oakland hills like a giant saucer ray gun thingy.  One of those days where it seems much bigger than normal.  I practiced in the afternoon today, and took full advantage of the extra heat in the shala.  As I walked to the train, staring at that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=349&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather has broken- it&#8217;s near warm out.  Backing off the down jacket, the 5-layer burrito Cameron to the good old-fashioned t-shirt-and-jacket so cal winter uniform.
The bart trains are suddenly packed at 6:30am.  The shala is more and more full.  We had a shala gathering at my place yesterday, which was outstandingly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=348&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Eyes open</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eyes open
She said,
“Now you will always have
open eyes,
even when you’re sleeping.”
The Great Lord
Ganesha
lying on my arm
living on my arm
staring out at me
at you
at the searching princess
who touched him
in adoration
each morning,
dragging her
fingers
down his face,
my arm
exclaiming
“It’s beautiful.”
Eyes open
the future awaits
there, in the distance
your face?
your intention
your love…
haunting eyes
like yours,
those of the great
protector
Ganapati
At once alive
present
purposeful
becoming a living
trust
of our truth
our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=347&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Push it back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Super early practice this morning.  I was surprised at how easy it was to get out of bed.  
On that note, I think I  have a magic bed.  It&#8217;s brand new and sleeping on it now brings a cornucopia of vivid, easily remembered, intense dreams.  I&#8217;m not normally a dreamer [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=345&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Eight moons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slowly I&#8217;m getting back to full strength.  Practice was nice this morning.  I think helped mainly by the fact that my six am walk to the bart was much more insulated than normal, thanks to a new jacket.  My back is getting more and more open again.  Not anywhere near my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jozenn.wordpress.com&blog=520792&post=343&subd=jozenn&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
