Alice Walker - May 12, 2022 Iyengar II

A bittersweet day as Ever Joyful Yoga transforms, Breathe Santa Fe opens May 15th! I feel so fortunate to have been able to continue teaching Yoga throughout the Pandemic. I am incredibly grateful for all who continued to practice together via Zoom! Thank you for a rich experience indeed. Hybrid classes and in-person classes begin. Poetry readings will continue. The Walker piece I selected for today may sound “glass-half-full”, but we need to hear and spread this message as we go out into the world. Just like in Yoga, each at their own pace.

Coming to Worship the 1,000-Year-Old Cherry Tree

Life is good. Goodness is its character;

all else is defamation.

The Earth is good. Goodness is its nature.

Nature is good. Goodness is its essence.

People are also good. Goodness is our offering;

our predictable yet unfathomable flowering.

Thankful and encouraged

Infused with our peaceful inheritance

May we not despair.
