5/2 yoga
Hi friends,
Happy May! If you spent all of last week realizing that you were “languishing,” here is Austin Kleon with a reframe to suggest that perhaps we are merely dormant, with a beautiful reminder from Maria Popova on how gardeners see the rhythms of the world.
I suggested to my adviser this past week that she put on her “possibility goggles” in order to look at my traft (a word denoting “trashy draft,” to indicate its current state). I don’t know where “possibility goggles” came from in my brain, but when we googled it, we discovered this list of Meyers-Briggs types as superpowered equipment. And on rituals, Joy Harjo noted, “It’s important to get up in the morning and acknowledge the sun, the rain. Acknowledge the door. Dawn is a doorway to a new possibility.” Certainly, having a new pup has helped me get out the door early and often and take a closer look at the weather!
If you haven’t already, please consider donating to India’s pandemic relief efforts. I know personally that I have been so wrapped up in US news, and since it feels like we’re starting to live in a post-pandemic world around here, it’s been harder for me to remember that others are not so privileged. (I saw a woman walking around Davis Square mask-less the other day taking enormous bits out of a pastry and drinking her coffee and it was a moment of remembering how we used to walk around in summer, pre-pandemic.)
And to end on some silly notes, please enjoy these absurd GIFs and this deep dive on dog influencers. See you on the mat!
