Thanks for Helping!

Thank you so much, Yoga Friends, for your support of the Domestic Violence Shelter.  We had a lovely turn out at the Yoga for Life Benefit class last evening.  I am grateful for your willingness to practice yoga and help our community.

If you weren’t able to attend class but would still like to donate, please visit thedvshelter.com and click on donate for details or to give online.

May you be blessed for your kindness!

of grasping and giving (II)

The rubied pearls of pomegranate
sparkle in their halved bowl,

the depth of red juice filling in the gaps
where the membrane segments and cradles

the seeds like yolks in whites in shells.
The full leafed plants languish

in the November garden
while the children push their root

systems into their still-warm earth,
crushing the bright arils between their teeth,

exploding the tart-sweet mysteries
of love’s reciprocity, of grasping and giving.
