The Yoga of Creating Space
Today is Groundhog Day. It’s the day when a hibernating animal sticks its nose out of its hole to assess the situation. Should I go back to sleep? Or do I need to get up and start getting my shit together? Shadow, no shadow, there are always six more weeks of winter, but that’s fine. … Continue reading The Yoga of Creating Space
