Victory of Light over Darkness

November 4th, 2021 marks start of Diwali, a five-day festival of lights celebrated mostly in India. It’s equivalent to Oshogatsu – New Year celebration or Christmas is my understanding and I embrace not only my own heritage and tradition, I love to learn and take a little something to add to my own trove of treasured goodness.

We will light up the darkened evening with candles and make some home made sweets … to share. We all need that Light during the Darkened hours to help us sleep better, don’t we?

“Best Day Ever” Nostalgia of Wanderlust Squaw Valley

This is the PRE-PANDEMIC YOGA FESTIVAL … where yogis could just gather and practice together and learn and … enjoy the vibe. It is unthinkable now and I so feel sorry for having to “miss out” on that special ENERGY only possible when people gather IN-PERSON in a shared space. Yes, remote learning is wonderful that you can be anywhere and still attend a class, lectures, workshops, etc. what have you – BUT still, the energy when people come together like this is … very special.

I pray for that day when once again, we can come together like this, with JOY rather than fear.

I want to go to back to this place and time ! (I hear it’s no longer called Squaw Valley – Wanderlust – there are so many realizations in America on how race plays a role – and the whole idea of cultural appropriation …let’s just honor the wisdom of all human endeavors including those in science.)
