		<description><![CDATA[Wood Element
We began the spring session talking about the wood element, which predominates in Nature during this time of year.  Aspects of the wood element are similar to what we experience in the dawning of spring, including:

strength and flexibility (like bamboo)
a return of warmth, generosity and fecundity
a strong seeking to grow and expand
budding of ideas [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We began February further clarifying our vision for 2010.  The first three rounds of visioning involved three criteria which I supplied:
1)  What is nourishing to me?
2)  What is inspiring to me?
3)  What is realistic for me?
The fourth round of visioning involved looking at one&#8217;s own values criteria, what I refer to [...]]]></description>

Third criteria - Is my vision realistic?
How do I know if it&#8217;s realistic?  Having a realistic sense of myself, my world, my gifts, my limitation&#8211;these are loving assessments, not wet blankets that I&#8217;m throwing on my creative dreams.
1. I am not in denial of the reality of my physical conditions. [...]]]></description>

1/13/10
Homework for next week:
* get a buzzword for each one of my visions - an example might be Peace as the buzzword for the Health vision
* look at brainstorms
- should feel authentically nourishing
- ask yourself - is it inspiring?

		<description><![CDATA[Leaf detached
from Tree today;
a powerful 5 a.m. storm
set her free
Gentle Wind carried Leaf
in fanciful flight;
released from its
summer home,
Sky,
cradled by Wind,
Leaf
looped/tumbled/rose/fell
Earth waited,
ready to catch her;
a snowfall
of crimson, russet, gold
also came to rest
in a colorful, patchwork carpet
for Earth
Leaf creates soil;
nourishment for Tree
Winter:
hibernation
preparation
restoration
Spring, once more;
variations on green
Leaf appears
Tree lifts Leaf
to Sky

Like an old, worn blanket, wrapped around the shoulders.
Like a smile from a true friend.
There will always be a sense of sadness about her.
Behind the eyes, it will remain, quiet and poised.
The difference is, now she knows this is not all she is; it does not define her.
For so long, she accepted karuna as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grief is
pain, deeply imbedded,
rising to the surface,
unexpected,
quick,
sudden.
Grief is not
self-indulgent,
self-absorbed,
selfish.

No, it is none of those.
It is connection
with our lost past,
our lost hopes,
our lost people.
When grief comes upon us,
the cause is often
just a word,
a flash,
a note.
We do not sit and wait
for its visitation.
It takes us unaware;
washes over us.
Time is of no consequence;
images may even sharpen, in time.

		<description><![CDATA[Like the taste of the Rasas, yoga itself has a particular flavor.
If you can let go
of preconceptions,
of long held beliefs,
of resistance,
you will be allowed
to savor
its sweetness.
All roads lead here,
in one way
or another.
There are myriad ways
to arrive.
We make it difficult; it is really
quite simple.
Each lesson is just
another road.
You get to choose
which is best
for you.
Whether through the [...]]]></description>
