holding back, or pushing to get this and that, moved by fluctuating agendas, carried by a flood of goals preceding goals, a geyser of wants and desires, I lose myself in meaningless pursuits, ignoring the whispered songs of wisdom, left by every teacher of Peace and Liberation, echos from the past, "Fully present, accept; Fully aware, Go with the flow; Always embrace compassion, Always thrive to be of service, Don't take yourself too seriously..." Echos from the heart, like raindrops seeking the ocean, returning to the heart. Ripples of joy, Ripples of bliss, Ripples of love. But the heart is busy, and the mind is restless. Once again, Stillness is avoided, and the storm is allowed to going on raising dust, raising doubt and confusion. A choice is made with each breath, a choice is made, while the teachers' of better ways, from times forgotten, from places unknown, go on throwing pebbles at our windows, may we listen, may we awaken.
Be well, and if you can give a moment to yourself.
Seeking, always seeking

Dear friend,
You are expressing your-self in 2 ways you have gift for: (1) writing and (2) yoga teaching. Both fall into eternity, both plant seeds in people souls. The difficulty is there is no immediate feel of accomplishment (who knows when seeds grow?), and therefore no much external support to keep going.
Traveling... My Teacher once told the main travel should be inside not outside. But he, him-self visits a far away place he was born and grew up in every year and after that - do his practice deep in the mountains where other people cannot reach him. Traveling helps us to separate once in a while from all the social roles we are carrying and attached to :). But returning back home is always difficult...
My main message is - please keep going!
