I have always been a very competitive person, especially inwardly, and in my tra

A great article on the wisdom of balance in Yoga of mind, body, spirit. Our lives today revolve around the To-do lost and often our time with yoga is an item to be checked off ..

Such a great excerpt .. will have to read The Uncommon Bond ... it's now on my list

You can connect from all kinds of places- energetic harmony, sexual alchemy, intellectual alignment- but they won’t sustain love over a lifetime. You need a thread that goes deeper, that moves below and beyond the shifting sands of compatibility. That thread is fascination- a genuine fascination with someone’s inner world, the way they organize reality, the way they hearticulate their feelings, the unfathomable and bottomless depths of their being. To hear their soul cry out to you again and again, and to never lose interest in what it is trying to convey. If there is that, then there will still be love when the body sickens, when the sexuality fades, when the perfection projection is long shattered. If there is that, you will swim in love’s waters until the very last breath.
