There are days when I wish I could escape from my thoughts! I am so glad I have a church family. They help me through the rough times.

I hear you Faith. The enemy can really try to take us out with one sentence. I'm so glad you have support to turn to during these moments. What can I do to help?

Just being there for me is good. I am on my 4th heart monitor as of yesterday. I am sick of these and will probably refuse to wear anymore. At my age I can't see where it will tell anybody anything. Nothing has shown up yet. Love you!!!

Lotus, cobra, etc etc. When I take a day off from a run ion the trails, yoga restores my body and unites my mind, body and Soul like nothing else I know. At 76, it is my Massotherapist, Physical therapist and psychologist all instantly accessible.

You're amazing Clark! Thank you for the inspiration to get on the mat. It certainly helps me slow down. :)

My next yoga pose

Makes the tsunami of life

Yes, manageable...

Love your poem Jules. Nature has such a calming effect. Perhaps that is why so many yoga poses mimic nature?
