2016
New Years Day, reading about Edward Snowden in Wired magazine, listening to a Martin Sheen interview from the podcast, On Being. I am the recipient of these offerings from friends whose antennae are primed for the full spectrum of the human experience. And, I am provoked to think about what we make with what we are given. Freedom, spirituality, and humanity are the topics of this morning meditation. I am curious about the courage it might take to truly meet oneself.
A new year is an arbitrary moment in time, yet we collectively bring a great amount of attention to it. The words of Krishnamurti resonate. I wonder what we mean by a new year... Is there anything that is really afresh, something that you have never seen before? This is rather an important question, if you follow it -- to turn all the days of our life into something which you have never seen before. That means a brain that has freed itself from its conditioning, from its characteristics, from its idiosyncrasies and the opinions, and the judgments and the convictions.
While we can grow weary of words: freedom, spirituality, humanity, compassion, love, presence, they still carry the intention and the expression of that which they serve. It is in the spirit of providing sanctuary for reflection, offering inspiration through Yoga, and provoking thoughtful inquiry that the White Lotus Foundation wishes you well in the "new year" on the road to meet yourself. May you mine the depths of that which you were given. And on that courageous journey, perhaps you will find compassion for yourself and in love be graced with the presence of your own humanity.
We welcome you to join us in a new year of Yoga.
Blessings,
Tracey and the White Lotus family
